If you want a JAA licence then no, you can't; only one pilot can log the time at any one time. If you are not actually flying the aircraft, how can you log the time?

To the best of my knowledge that's never been legal anywhere - either you were misinformed, or misunderstood.
Of-course, you can still save some money on an hour-building holiday by sharing the hour building with a friend - sharing a hotel room on flights away, only needing one set of charts.... Also you can always agree to share flights along the lines of "you fly the first hour, I'll fly the second".
But each actual minute in the air can only be logged by a single pilot - that's an absolute.

There is a way...
Under the FAA both pilots can log as PIC.
BUT one has to be flying solely by instruments and the other acting as a safety pilot.
Log book of the Pilot flying by instruments has to be countersigned by the safety pilot etc.

No Way!!!!
Unless you are TYPE RATED! on a Multi Crew Aircraft. Even then the guy in the right seat can only log P2. I assume you will be flying a light SEP, which is a single pilot aircraft. If so there is no need for a second pilot so can't log the time (unless Trans-Atlantic Ferry Flying IFR).
I've heard of a few guy's trying your idea in the past, but just remember 9/11! Those guys faked there log books. Aviation authoraties are really on the ball now!
If you wan't a career in aviation, be 100% honest.
I rented an old Cessna 150 from Firecrest Aviation in Elstree, if you pay up front and bargain a little I got it for £60.00 per hour. O.k. a few years ago but about 60% cheaper than my flying school.
