Neveer met an out right rude English person the whole time but when a gaggle of high schoolers ask you to say "wah-ter" and then look amused when you use the midwest US version "wa-der" one can safely surmise the young ladies were taking the piss at my expense Btw it was "Kool and the Gang" I and

After looking into it I actually do NOT need a visa. I can apply for a Blue Card since I am a full time student, I am over the age of 18, am a US resident, and not intending to study in the great nation of the UK.
The only thing left is to talk to my managers because I may be able to have a job upon arrival in the UK (yay for Best Buy being multinational?) as well as a job upon return to the US.
I'm excited because this is working out!
Also @MrC, whatever. I grew up with worse in my own damn family than "snickering behind my back at my accent." I'm pretty sure that I can handle whatever the britlanders try to throw at me.

After some thinking I'd imagine this would be the way Englishmen and women must feel about life in the US. Unfortunately I see the same with my American co-workers here in the states toward the UK-expats too. Sad really but again the human comment and added one about the grass is always greener one too.
In fairness, this is by no means exclusive to Septics. We'll quite happily take the piss out of anyone's accent be they Brit or Johnny Foreigner. We only really get racist about brown people taking our jobs and working hard, the total bastards.
Spidey: Can't think of a reason I'd need to know anything
The UK opted out out of the "blue card" process for their own more restrictive points based system. Just follow the same link given by Agri and myself on their policy and procedures
Remember you are double hamstrung. No blue card program in England AND you have to meet the more restrictive qualification criteria that no one in the EU wants the job. This is not an indictment of your skills, person, value, or potential rather a clear indicator of why so many people end up working illegally in the G20 countries.
Free, unasked advice is what worth what you pay for it.
