    That's a highlight...the only one I can think of...

    Should really phone up the instructor I found, and is £18.50 too much for a lesson?

    Part of the Furniture
    £18.50 seems cheap cheap cheap elfen... i'm sure i paid that about 9 years ago!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Right, I'll take them up on that. And the first 4 would be just over 11 a lesson, so very MSE...

    ETA: just phoned, they'll phone me back in either 10 minutes or 2 hours (in between lessons) so I'll find out what their block booking discount is for a student! If it goes anywhere neat 170 (5+/-) then I am biting his hand off!

    I think that's about what my sister was paying. Although the first four for £45 is really good.

    Have booked my first lesson for the 12/11 @ 8am! :O. He's doing the 10 for 175 so that's even better, means I get 10 hours @ 17.50, which is quite good I think. Now need to tell Pint he's gotta pony up £45!

    Why don't you pay for the first four yourself and get him to pay four of the more expensive ones? After all, it's only fair to give him a bit of warning he's going to have to pay...

    Hmm, a lesson at 8am 'Here's first gear. You'll be in it for the next hour while we move 20 yards down the street'... No, I'm sure it'll be great.
