Limited locale choices on new install

Hello, I have just completed a clean install of Arch Linux and am having trouble setting a UK locale.

After install, the output of locale -a is:

locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
C
POSIX
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8

I set en_GB.utf8 in the rc.conf at install time to no avail, running locale -a during the install gave the above output minus the first two 'no such file or directory' lines.

I hope someone is able to help (or at least tell me if I should be submitting a bug report), thanks.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Hah, I must be going blind. I even looked at that page.

Thanks.
