Problem I find with your words is that I find (As some others do), that the talk about sex in general is still pretty much a taboo subject in British society whom are generally Conservative on the matter (Though not all), hence the common phrase "No sex please, we are British"
This could explain why there is a general lack of the sale of larger condoms in retail outlets, and could be the men just putting up and shutting up, as is the general attitude in British life.
Whilst I can not speak for others in the UK, I can speak about my own situation, in that the length of condoms is ok on general sale, it's the girth where I get the problem, and even in most of the sex shops in the UK where you would expect more choice, I find they don't generally stock larger condoms, though I have found XL sizes from places like Tesco Extra and Home Bargains, but generally the costs of these larger condoms ar at least 20% more.

I doubt it.
I have never seen any British penis but I assume they are rather average or even small comparing to the rest of the EU.
The reason why I think that is that unlike in other EU countries, in the UK there are no L, XL or XXL condoms available on the traditional markets. Not in supermarkets, nor in Boots / Lloyds pharmacies and so on. The biggest surprise was when there weren't any XXL condoms available in an adult shop (!!!).
Economy talks: Demand and supply.
Manufacturers always make market research before they place their product on the market as they don't want to lose their money.
So If you can see their products (e.g. brown bread, eggs or normal sized condoms) on supermarket shelves you can assume that people want to pay for them. Because they need them or simply want to buy them for any other (often pointless) reason.
And if you cannot see certain products (e.g. XL condoms or heavy transport helicopters) on market shelves it means that people do not want to pay for them.
The reason for that is:
1. They can't afford the products
2. They don't need the products
As the price of XL condoms is fairly comparable to the price of normal sized condoms and generally the British population have enough money to buy normal sized condoms without causing themselves any financial issues, I guess people simply do not need XL condoms.
Because they (generally!!!) do not have XL penises. Of course, exceptions exist.
That's it.
