SOLVED: I made a script called switch_keyboard in /usr/bin containing:
#!/bin/bash setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alts_toggle gb,us then added a desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart that calls the script when xfce starts xfkc is not needed anymore now... opinions please?

So I added the locales package and specified: LH_BOOTAPPEND_LIVE="locale=en_GB.UTF-8 keyb=uk". I am using xfce4 and added a package called xfkc to manage the keyboard layout. However when I add a layout from xfkc ex: USA - International (no dead keys), the key mappings remain that of UK. Is there anything that needs to be configured? > > 2.
