screenshot of Language & Region Settings

I set Language & Region Settings for the UK (as per attached screenshot), with dates and times format shown as: 'Tue 8 May 2018 07:35:55 BST'

However, the Top Bar shows the date and time in format: 'Tue May 8, 07:35:55'

The date and time formats shown in the Top Bar should be taken from the user specified Language & Region Settings.
