All that you show is a difference in prices from the US to the UK, that generally, the UK is more expensive. Take the example of wages: if an IT consultant in the UK gets paid £500k per year, and an IT consultant in France gets paid €700k, whereas the exchange rate would have it at around €570-600 (depending on when you read this post), then all that shows is that IT consultants get paid more in France, and less in Britain, not that the exchange rate is wrong. In the case of Britain and the US, the difference in average wages actually shows that in terms of average buying power, most of what you have in examples above cost roughly the same.
