The locale won't make a lot of difference if the keyboard is set to be a US layout. You will probably need to reconfigure xorg (I forget how exactly) so that the keyboard is a more desirable layout.
As its Ubuntu the command is: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
In Ubuntu 8.10 there is an option to auto detect if this doesnt work for you try choosing not to autodetect and the next screen will ask for for your Keyboad Layout just enter "gb" without the quotation marks for the english layout.
Thanks very much, Steve, Dennis. I'll let you know if that solved the problem when I'm with the laptop again later.
Much appreciated,
Jenny
