If I understand it correctly, you live in UK, where a week starts on
Monday, but still wants that the calendar on your desktop displays weeks
starting on Sunday. Out of curiosity, why?

One thing you can do, if that is what you want, is to add the line

  export LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"

as is mentioned at ghelp:language-selector#format-advanced
Doing so limits the adaption to US conventions to date and time related format.

The level of detail with respect to the UIs for user settings is a trade
off between varying personal preferences. Please keep in mind that a
high level of detail, to satisfy wishes of a small number of users, may
have drawbacks.
