Mine works if I do a £1 = US$1 conversion.
The last time that I saw a US:UK comparison done, the only thing that was more expensive in the US was the insurance premiums, mainly because public liability cover costs a fortune due to the US fondness of litigation. We're even catching up in this department though, with the number of ambulance chasers around these days.
