p_penicillin: It's just additional charge comes from the bank because of the currency conevrsion
Grargar: There should be an option to pay in £ through your settings and via the main page. Is it not available for you?
For anybody else's future reference: hover over your username in the nav bar across the top of the screen, then hover over "Language & currency" in the resulting dropdown, then select the desired payment currency and/or site language (not forgetting to click "Apply changes" afterward, if necessary). This is available from pretty much every page on the site (apart from the Support subdomain), unlike the options at the bottom of the page, which are only available in the store sections (front page, product pages, promo pages, Connect page, probably a few others).
