I've been watching it over the last month or so, and I just find it interesting how much detail they've put into this. Small things like making sure pounds are the currency, signs and notes being in English (which actually makes me believe that they're meant to be speaking English, but is in Japanese for Japanese viewers (which is meta in of itself. Watching a Japanese anime in Japanese set in England where the characters are meant to be speaking English))
Pretty sure that's just another example of the "translation convention" trope. It's not really as complicated as you make it out to be.
