> But how do I get back a pure C locale?

If by that you mean an ASCII locale: C.ASCII. (Btw, that's essentially
the same as C.ISO-8859-1, i.e. it's 8-bit not 7-bit).

>=C2=A0I also

The date format is controlled by the LC_TIME locale category. Hence
you could get both the Euro charset and the traditional date format
with this:

LANG=3DC.ISO-8859-15
LC_TIME=3DC

Regarding the LANG setting, I'd recommend setting it to the language
you prefer, e.g. de_DE.ISO-8859-15 or en_GB.ISO-8859-15, because the
C.* locales are unlikely to be recognised when connecting to other
systems.
