I was told LC_ALL=en.UK.UTF-8 overrides LC_MONETARY=en_USA.UTF-8 (and all others like any USA measurements or number punctuation, etc.) so it should be LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 and set exceptions. Seems XFCE forces things (graphical calendar) based on LC_TIME (KDE lets you override calendar) but I should ask XFCE mailing list...
