UK companies with overseas income?

Hi all. Well, I'm on the search for my next (potential) equity investments.

I'm looking for LSE listed companies that have a high proportion of their income from outside the UK or America.

On my list to-date are Standard Chartered and PZ Cussons.

Anybody got any other suggestions I can start researching for my next purchases?

Thank you! :)
I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

    I believe I heard recently that 90% of the earnings of the FTSE 100 are derived from outside the UK so you probably wouldn't go far wrong with any firm. I like Standard Chartered though.
