Ok, now there is too much US input to a lot of computer software.  I have 
evolution installed and was busy updating contacts - oh oh a way to store 
people's birthdays!

Sigh, it wants the date in mm/dd/yyyy format rather than the slightly 
more intelligent dd/mm/yyyy format.

In Ubuntu you can set the default language to English (New Zealand) and 
(being a primarily Windows user) I assumed that the language would also 
set things like the correct date format.

What did I miss?

Cheers and another million thanks for the solution,

Ian
