That’s the date format used in the UK

Small correction: that's the date format used by most every country except the United States.

Why is it always americans who are caught with being seemingly unaware of the rest of the world? Is it because we all speak their language? I didn't ever see it with Britons or Australians.
Date format used everywhere apart from US.
Not everywhere. In Asia you find a lot of YYYY-MM-DD and similar.
And in eg Germany, too.
