Pace I managed to do my ATPL's in 6 months while doing a 10hour a day IT job via distance learning.
You will get hammered though for 4 weeks brush up and 2 weeks exams. Cost less than 3k.
And sim session with CAA examiner will be less than 6k.
Medical 300 and license issue 300 ish.
Which if your VAT registered you can get that back and offset against tax as well halves the face price payed out of your pocket. So in total proberly less than 5k.
And the uk will allow FAA pilots with no additional paper work PPL VFR rights only. In the US you have to get a piggy back which is limited to PPL only if you want any other ratings including IR you have to sit the theory test and also the flight check. If you want to convert you again have to do the theory test and the flight checks just as you do in the UK. So I don't think Brian is wrong.
I might add I don't want the IMC to disappear
