Results from the web and country specific results generally are different from each other. That's because the competition is different and the whole web is considered in stead of just country specific websites.
In countries with other languages this isn't much of an issue, but in the uk it is an issue because the uk speaks the same language as the usa. (In case you´re from the uk, you´re probably don't agree with this
but written language isn't so different.)

Has anyone else noted Google UK results where "pages from the UK" results are way higher than "the web" results? This is becoming a proper pain in the rear as its making it hard for me to properly ascertain levels of competition for my SEO customers.

I think you'll just have to learn to live with it. The uk is smaller and therefore is likely to have less websites and therefore you'll just have less PageRank than american sites. You can't do anything about that. One advantage is that people searching have the same problem as you have and it's not bad to assume that many people in the uk prefer the country specific search.
