Just passed my test today at the age of 49 - first time - and over the moon. I had lessons in my early twenties but on moving to London, didn't need to drive and so gave up. Then, with the pandemic, it seemed like a good idea to take it up again. Of course, my lessons were interrupted by the lockdowns but we persevered.

 

I can wholeheartedly recommend my driving instructor, Nick. We started off in his car with dual controls but very quickly - because I'd had lessons years ago - we were able to have lessons in my own car. Nick is patient, and works really hard to put you at your ease. He stays calm, whatever happens, and is very re-assuring. I always felt safe when out lessons, even without the dual control.

Fresh from passing my practical driving test and I can absolutely concur that Nick of Nicholas Driving Academy is great! Having been in London for 7 years after living and driving in New York City for most of my life, having to do the whole test thing was annoying and frustrating. Nick understood that I was an experienced driver, but also knew that with experience and driving in a different country come "bad" habits and different rules. He patiently and cheerfully got me in shape to drive British-style. And I finally have my British license!!!

If anyone has got a New Year's Resolution to learn to drive, I can recommend Nicholas Driving Academy. I had lessons with Nick in between lockdowns and passed my test about a year ago - I'm an oldster, and maybe a bit lacking in confidence because of that, but I passed first time with only two minors. Nick knows how to put you at ease, he's relaxed and really focuses on the practical stuff of actually driving a car, rather than learning a lot of theory.

    • There was a previous thread about them about 6 months ago. Since then, they have been found guilty and fined for illegal street trading and collections in June in the City of London. https://news.cityoflondon.gov.uk/we-r-blighty-pleads-guilty-of-illegal-street-trading-and-collections-in-the-city/  
    • The Government has set an ambitios target to build 1.5 million new homes bu the end of this 4 year term. Possibly unachievable due to various issues in the building industry but ambitious none the less.  What they seem to have failed to plan for, which was brought home by this year's drought, is adding more inferstructure including Reservoirs, power lines and sewerage treatment centres.  Ate they setting us up for more problems in the future? 
    • If you know the layout of the Chequers estate, it is clearly unfeasible and logistically complex to project images onto the facade of the main building. Unless you are the military or something.
    • https://www.the-londoner.co.uk/we-r-blighty-fake-charity/   ‘We R Blighty’ are asking for donations outside M&S. just be aware they are not a registered charity… can we get them moved on?
