Also from a review of the Google Finance Website and financial statements in company investor relations websites, I found another 6 Companies headquartered in the United Kingdom which reported their financial statements in US$s but didn't file with the US SEC and also with Stock Market Capitalizations of more than 10 bil British Pounds.
I excluded all UK Utility Companies.
How have these 34 very large UK Companies recovered from the 2008-9 worldwide financial meltdown? They haven't and it's not even close. Their Total Audited Earnings From Continuing Operations in 2014 were down 51% or US$64.6 bil from 2007.
Below here are the reported Audited GAAP Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations for each of these 34 UK Companies reporting in US$s for all years reported from 2007 through 2014:

There is no way these large UK businesses can be happy with the UK Government, the EU Top People and even the IMF. Large businesses in other large countries like the US, Germany and Japan have substantially recovered from the 2008-9 worldwide financial meltdown.
In addition, I found two UK HQ'd Companies reporting in EUROs and with Stock Market Capitalizations of more than EURO 10 bil, with their Audited Earnings shown below:
