You could swap keyboard layouts using other apps if you wish. I'm not sure where from you switched to the UK keyboard.
There are some apps for hacking keyboards at MacUpdate at <http:// www.macupdate.com/search.php?arch=all&keywords=keyboard&os=macosx>. What about playing with Uklele or UK.keylayout ?
it's more about the fact that there's no printed # key on my Mac keyboard, and it's where the £ key is but got at with option, so it's an awkward left hand key combo. I suppose i could use the right option key and then it's a two handed combo, more like the PC keyboard which has the # with the ~ on the right near the return key.
maybe I should remap it from the 3 key to the pipe/backslash key and draw it on...
