I just thought I would add another small bit of advice, I agree with the 2 posts below my original post, you should do what I did, get yourself off to the states and get your JAA CPL, come back to the UK and try and get a job with one the PA-31 etc operators or small airlines even if it's part time atleast it will build your hours and experience.
Even think about doing your instructor rating which is another way of hour building.
