Non-English dates

[Neville Smythe]

I am bemused (and initially quite confused) that "english date" returns 
a non-english (that is, US ) format date, particularly odd for an app 
designed in Scotland! (for MetaCard compatibility perhaps?)

And aren't Friday and Saturday the weekend for Arabic countries and 
Israel, in which case the day number won't help?

$@%? $@%? $@%? $@%? $@%? $@%? $@%? $@%? $@%?
