The easiest match is that a 1st=distinction, 2i=merit and 2ii=pass (and 3rd = pass by the skin of your teeth)

It varies by subject and department...although the quality required for a first is (in theory) the same regardless of uni/subject.

70-75 depending on which uni you are at is a 1st
60+ 2.1
50+ 2.2
45+ 3rd I think at most unis I might be slightly off track on the 3rd percentage though.
