Hey @Nesbit7

Your playbook should work if you remove the LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8 from the last task, this is not actually related to Ansible itself, LC_ALL is not supported in the locale.conf file. Try:

   - name: set as default locale
     command: localectl set-locale LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
     when: ansible_distribution == 'Ubuntu'

Using a role as stated above if you intend to do more complex set-ups is also a good idea!

You could use /etc/profile or the .bashrc file for LC_ALL.
