That's actually not the case. 'uk' is the correct value.
The gl parameter takes a ccTLD ("top-level domain") two-character
value as stated in the docs for the HTTP Geocoder:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#Geocoding_Direct
The UK is called out as a specific case where the ccTLD differs from
the ISO-3166-1 code in the GClientGeocoder.setBaseCountryCode()
reference:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GClientGeocoder
Also as mentioned in the issue tracker thread that Barry mentioned, gl
just biases the rankings so that results of in that country are
returned above results of roughly equal quality in other countries. It
does not filter results, so results in other countries will still be
included, and may still rank higher than results in the specified
country if they are significantly better matches.
