FAA PPL to UK PPL?

I have been out of the Uk for over a decade and during that time I have obtained my FAA PPL.

Thinking of maybe returning to the UK in the next couple of years and would like to stay flying.

Now here's the thing. I hear all these rumours about JAR, EASA etc. and rather non-specific changes to rules of FAA PPL's in the UK.

Twenty five years ago my brother had an FAA PPL, he had a share in and flew a G reg Aiglon even in Europe with a letter sent to various authorites - but I hear things have changed.

So does anyone have a simple answer to the questions?

What do I have to do the fly in the UK with my current PPL? The rumours say bin it and do all the EASA training from scratch - just too expensive and time consuming.

And, what do I have to do if I want to bring my US registered airplane back, I am rather fond of it?
