DCC is Dynamic Currency Conversion, another name for Scam (just like "credit default swaps"). So go ahead, just put in UK, you don't have to put in an address or anything ...
Aside from currency, changing your supposed nationality can also result in savings when you reserve a car online -- try it putting in US or UK or France... and see how the rates change!!

If the merchant treated you as if you were in the UK, perhaps they did a pounds-to-euros dynamic currency conversion markup before sending the transaction to your American credit card issuer. Is this a possibility?
