The locale "en" just contains the basic settings for all english speaking
countries. What you need to set is 'setLocale("en_GB")' additionally you will
have to add "en_GB" to the list of APPLICATION_LOCALES in your makefile. This
will automatically fetch the locale data file from CLDR. This locale contains
all the correct date formats for the UK.
I hope this helped,
Best Fabian
