AFAIK en_UK[.iso88591] is not a valid entry, the correct name is
en_GB[.iso88591]. for LC_CTYPE using en_US is a good solution as the default
charset of it is iso-88591 and that's all LC_CTYPE is used for and en_US is
installed on most systems by default were en_GB is not. for other related
vars (e.g. LC_MESSAGES) you might want to go with en_UK (if it's installed).
