Not quite. I would like to have my computer completely in english, but I
hate the mm/dd/yy date format of en_US (and IIRC en_GB as well), so I
have to set LC_TIME to fr_CH, but then I have the day and month names in
french. I couldn't find an english locale that displays the date as
dd.mm.yyyy (though I didn't look for all too long).

That's a valid point.

Creating one should not be all too difficult, as it would only involve
copying the preferred locale and modifying a few items. I haven't taken
the time to try it, though.
