I have just installed Chrome, but when I open Google it is in Google DE (Deutschland, because that's where I am). How do I change it to Google UK please?

Try this:
Go to Settings, then Manage Search Engines, Click ‘add’ then call the new engine what you want, eg GoogleUK, and whatever keyword you want, and put http:// www.goo gle.co. uk/#q=% s in the URL box. Then make this the default.

NickorWan; Thanks, I've tried that and I still get Google DE come up first, however, as the language is set in English, I suppose it doesn't matter, except I will probably get German advertising, but as I take no notice of advertising anyway, it probably doesn't matter. I have Google UK in the taskbar now if i want to switch and I've managed to import all my favourites, Google Chrome is certainly better than the new Firefox foisted on me and which I have abandoned, cheers!
Adding to above if you right click in a blank address bar you also get 'edit search engines'.if you go into that, even though google.de is highlighted, find google.uk further down the list then at the end on the right are 3 tiny dots,click on that and you get the option to make google.uk your default search engine.
Prudie: That worked fine! thanks. What I need now is: though it now has Google UK as default, the actual opening page (the homepage?) is for some reason one that has, %s in the question bar and a list of searches for that.
In other words, how do I make it open with the normal google page with an empty search box, please?
