Of course, at any other time the forums are incandescent over Bill Plant&#8217;s &#8220;5 hours for \u00a356&#8221; introductory offer. The wise ones appear incapable of understanding the word &#8220;introductory&#8221; &#8211; and the fact that subsequent lessons are something like \u00a322 an hour afterwards (and that\u2019s usually more than those same wise ones are charging for their own lessons, and which also include introductory offers).<\/p>\n<p>The <a title=\"Bill Plant Franchise\" href=\"http:\/\/www.billplant.co.uk\/driving_instructor_franchise.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bill Plant franchise<\/a> is pretty good value, starting at \u00a3149 a week including the car and various other benefits. None of the wise ones on the forums, who hate all franchises with a vengeance,\u00a0seems to have cottoned on to the <a title=\"Bill Plant DIT\" href=\"http:\/\/www.billplant.co.uk\/driving_instructor_training.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">driving instructor training service<\/a>. Not yet, anyway.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Edit:<\/strong> I have removed the Bill Plant logo above. This is because they have taken exception to <a title=\"To Be National, Or Not To Be National?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.diaryofanadi.co.uk\/?p=12243\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a much more recent story<\/a> where the ASA found them being a little creative with their \u201cfacts\u201d about how many instructors they had, and how big an area those covered. In fact, the ASA seriously dented Bill Plant\u2019s own claims to be \u201cnational\u201d by declaring that they\u2019re not! I therefore thought it prudent to anticipate further tit-for-tat action on their part by removing their logo from here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This an OLD story from 2010.
