My friend's modern UK-english PC keyboard (Cherry G83-3000) has the
pound sterling symbol (the curly L) above the three. I would imagine
all UK-english(!) keyboards are like this, however there are many
US-english keyboards around, even in Europe...
BTW My German keyboard here at work has the "paragraph" symbol(?)
above the three. (What is the correct English name for this, it is
like two S shifted vertically, so they overlap in the middle.
ie. the lower half of the upper S and the upper half of the lower
S form a circle or an O - roughly speaking)
Andrew.
