It's been a couple of years since I looked into this, but I'm given to believe that LANG should set all LC_ variables correctly, and that overriding them is frowned upon.

I had to do this myself because, due to a bug, the en_GB time formatting failed to display am or pm. I believe this should be fixed now.
