|Well in the US they cal this # a pound sign! Can't help it. How do you
|Brits cal this sign?
'-----------------------------

A # is either a hash or 'number' over here.

eg.. # is 'hash'
     #1 is 'number 1' (not 'hash-1')
     #15 is 'number 15'

And a pound is this ... � ... our currency :o)

eg.. �455 is four hundred and fifty five pounds.
         (Thats around US$900, isn't it?)
