I speak from experience:

1. Go to the USA to do some hours building or your FAA CPL/IR
2. Pick a school somewhere Brits are a novelty (i.e. not in Florida or California)- I can recommend a good one in the mid west.
3. Walk into a bar.
4. Order a beer.

You will get mobbed. That scene in "Love Actually" where Colin gets the 3 HBs just by saying stuff? It happens. Then when they ask you what you're doing over there, and you say "Pilot Training", they will drop their "panties" there and then.

If anyone else has got USD 5000 or so burning a hole in their pocket, they can try the same stunt. Just make sure you pick a school in a good college town (like Bowling Green, KY (home of Western Kentucky University) or Stillwater, OK (home of Oklahoma State University)).
