I was however suprised, to notice that the gap between ex-eu flights and flights departing LON has significantly reduced. Take for example, myself and mrs globalste flew OSL-LHR-SFO-LHR-OSL for a price of £1346pp inc tax. Just browsing on ITA the cheapest I found to SFO is direct from LON for a whopping £2544! I think I would rather fly Virgin Upper Class as it costs less

Presume you mean prices are soaring, and that you are sour because of this?

Re the gap between fares for ex EU and ex LHR flights narrowing, your example seems to suggest the gap is still very wide (£1.2k) leaving from Oslo??
