I think you might have to do the IP thing.

I tried buying an ebook a few weeks ago by simply putting in a UK address in my profile, but it didn't work. I am not sure, however, whether this also applies to buying via vouchers.

So it looks like a VPN is needed, but most seem to give you a US IP. I don't know of any which will give a British one.
