The majority of the products are made in the UK, go check your boxes mate. The UK is the main manufacturing and distribution base, the US is not, so the costs for the US need to factor in import duty, shipping etc and factors effecting the UK over the US.

I for one don't mind an increase, as it is very likely that GW will have to factor in for an explosive euro-zone and loss of sales and possible damage to property etc. It is something that many businesses this side of the pond have been factoring in, and building reserves against.

Looking at things from a US perspective is a waste of time as it misses the major factors of GW's running costs, you have to look at the market in the UK to get a proper perspective.
