Mac keyboard constantly reverting to US from GB

I want my mac keyboard to use GB as the input source, not use, since it affects where the hashtag and £ signs are, however no mater how many times I change it to GB, it reverts to US over the following days.


I've been in to 'settings' and 'Edit input sources', and here there are two keyboards displayed, US and GB. I can delete the US keyboard and save, and this then shows the GB keyboard only in settings for a while, before the US keyboard re-appears and takes over.


Is there any what to stop this happening and just keep the GB keyboard?


TIA.

First go to system settings > general > language and region and make sure English (UK) is the only item on the list.


Then go to system settings > keyboard > text input > edit > all input sources and use the minus button at the bottom to removed everything except the item named "British".


Let us know if that holds.
