Yoast plugin question - Targeting UK Only Advice Please

I have a question regarding the yoast plugin.

First, I need to say that my site is a .co.uk domain and will be targeting UK visitors mainly and optimised for google uk.

Anyway, when I view my source on the home page I notice the following in the WP yoast section.

<metaproperty='og:locale'content='en_US'/>

Will I, or should I change this to UK, or do I just leave it alone?

If I do need to change it, then how do I do this?

Sorry to ask, but I want my site perfect before I start to add content.

Kind regards

    Code:
    <metaproperty='og:locale'content='en_US'/>
    If it really looks like this then it doesn't work anyway, there is no metaproperty.

    Those crap facebook properties are not html valid anyway...

    For you the tag would be:

    Code:
    <meta property="og:locale" content="en_GB" />
    How you have to change it and where... I think this is NOT yoast, it must be a facef**k plugin

      Thanks for your reply..

      It is actually in the head section in between the yaost section like below:

      <!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast WordPress SEO plugin v1.3.4.4 - WordPress SEO Plugin --> <meta property='og:locale' content='en_US'/> <meta property='fb:admins' content='00000000/> <meta property='og:title' content='/> <meta property='og:description' content=''/> <meta property='og:url' content='http://www.mysite'/> <meta property='og:site_name' content='/> <meta property='og:type' content='website'/> <meta property='og:image' content='http://www./>

      <!-- / Yoast WordPress SEO plugin. -->

      So you saying it doesn't matter and i should leave it?

      regards
