Why did you not ask me or Stu, do you not think we are the best people to ask?

She is looking at doing about 2 hours for each year of her age, groverment numbers not mine. Go with a good school ask around and see what people say. As for cost £20/£27 an hour si about right anything less will be a waste of money. You know my number if you want to kow more give a call.

Everyones different mate. but if anything do the middle bit yourself i would say, learning the basics and fine tuning is something most people find easier with an instructor. so i'd say go wit one, and when she feels confident to , take her out as much as you can but keep seeing the instructor too and ask his/her advice for what to practice etc :)

the wife is talking about doing a crash course 30 hours for something like 700 quid :think: she has sent off for her pretend licence today
when would be the best time for her to book her written/computer test? before she has ever driven or see what the instructor says.

I will get the number off the boy later. A few of his mates used this guy and passed 1st time and another one is taking lessons. He used to be with Warden Hill but now works for himself. Hes very good apparently.
