Big 4 US vs UK

Not really on topic but when reading these forums I have noticed there is a big difference in the level of respect Big 4 audit receives in the UK vs. the US.

To put it short, what is the reason for this difference? Why is Big 4 considered to be more prestigious in the UK? Is it harder to break in, does it pay more, etc?
