No I've lived in England for years and that's a terrible indicator of price difference.

Go into a random pub in most parts of the country (not just London) and lunch--beefburger and chips, or a lamb shank, say--is going to cost you 8-10 quid with a pint.

That's 16-20 bucks. That goes pretty far in America. Maybe not in NY or SF, but everywhere else.
