The format you are complaining about is American NOT English. I have noticed the same problem, running Gnome Flashback under Ubuntu 18.04, today. System settings show the correct English regional format (eg Thu 12 Dec 2019 18:29:30) but, in the indicator, I get Thu Dec 12 2019 18:29:30. Extremely annoying.
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime custom-time-format "%a %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S" has no effect nor can I find an appropriate valid string to enter in locations. Is this now being handled elsewhere? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu.

In regional setting the date reads day number month year hour minute… which is correct for French. But the clock in the Unity panel reads day month number year hour minute… which looks more English than French order. Any config file I might edit to make my clock « more French » ?
