The way Mathematica handles non- US or non-uk keyboards has always
annoyed me too.
The best "solution" is to buy a UK (or US) keyboard, next time you go
to England, or to order it online from a UK based vendor. Another
possibility for you could be to go to Holland and get there a US
keyboard (it should be easier) or check the Dutch keyboards which - I
think - have the [ and { in standard positions (no Alt GR).
