Q: iOS 10 and Siri in the UK

Every time I ask Siri a question, the default is that I get an answer which assumes I'm in the US. I'm in the UK, so when I ask about something UK related, like Sky Sports TV Schedule, I don't want some team called Sky from the US as the result!

 

Any way to make Siri realise I'm in the UK and far more likely to be interested in UK results?

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

    Greetings to TheStraddlers!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Community and thanks for your question about Siri giving US-based answers to UK-based questions, particularly about the Sky Sports TV Schedule.  I love asking Siri all kinds of questions so I'm happy to help.

    I changed my Siri to the UK-based Siri by going to the Settings app.
    1. Settings > Siri > Language and I changed it to English (United Kingdom)
    2. I asked Siri the same question and was provided with a web site for Sky Sports TV, but not an actual schedule
    I also tested Siri for local TV schedules and was provided with links for the right web sites, but not for the actual schedule.  Siri knows things like local sports scores (and even the difference between American football and regular football) but apparently not TV schedules.  For more information on Siri:
