Currency format in reporting services

I have what is likely a simple question but I have had no luck in tracking
down an answer so far. I have a report that I've created in RS that is for an
English company and I want to display the output in pounds as opposed to $.
When I go to a given text-box and click the format/currency option all I get
is $. I realize that RS tries to default to the currency setting on the
location the report is run but since the report will be hosted in the states
that's not going to help. All I need to do is format a text box as pounds!
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.I noticed that if you click on the text box and look at the properties for it
that there is a language property. Change it from default to English (United
Kingdom) and that will change the currency symbol to the other symbol. I had
something formatted as currency and tried this and it seemed to work.

Is it possible to apply your machine's Regional Settings to the currency
symbol Meaning, when I change my Windows' Regional Settings to English/UK,
currency will display with a pound symbol, if South Africa, with an R, or if
US. with a $?
Regards,
