  I THINK, the way around this is to set up a second iTunes account with US details, for which you will need an US credit card or a US iTunes card (and a US address but that is easy)

  I wish the stores were the same. We often get a raw deal.
  
  This does mess around with Apple terms and conditions which they might get rather annoyed over.

  Tried that but i don't have US card details - i can use a friends address but can't really use their card details.

  If you've registered a US account then you can add credit with a US iTunes gift card.
  
  A quick Google brought up this: http://www.pcgamesupply.com/buygames/itunes-gift-cards-online-email/
  
  I've no personal experience using them though.

  I'll be honest and say I don't really know what that is.

  You don't need a credit card, or a iTunes voucher to set up a US iTunes account.
  
  You don't even need a genuine US address, just has to be in the US address format (correct number of digits for zip code, telephone number, etc ).
  
  All you need is a separate email address that doesn't have any other iTunes accounts linked to it (doesn't even have to be a US email).
  
  1. Open iTunes on your computer, go to iTunes store, log out of any accounts.
  
  2. Scroll down to the flag icon on the bottom right of the page, click on it, then click on the US flag to go to the US store.
  
  3. Find any FREE app, click on it, and click buy, you'll be prompted to log in or create account (this step is VERY important).
  
  4. Create the account using a US formatted address, and a separate valid email address.
  Under payment options make sure you click on 'None'.
  
  When your account is created, you'll be able to download any free App from the US store to your computer, then log back into your UK account and sync it to your device.
  
  If you want paid US apps you'll either have to acquire a US iTunes voucher, or jailbreak your device.
  
  I have many free US apps installed, such as: ABCplayer, SyFy, DiscoveryHD, etc (and the iTunes Movie Trailer app, which curiously, is not available in the UK).
  
  Note: for streaming catchup TV apps to work, you will need a VPN installed on your device. I recommend 'VPN one click' from the UK app store (free for 7 days, then £0.69 /month after that).

  There's an app I want on my iPad but its "only available in the US".
  
  Is there any way around this?

  
  I'm assuming the App you want is the 'Dexter' App. I have it, it is really good, a must for Dexter fans.
