    hold the alt key down and on the numeric pad press 156 and you get £

    sharkie,

    good tip, is there a list published anywhere of other symbols/characters available using this method?

    Cheers

    bit of a faff innit :)

    takes 2min to change language settings forever

    Takes much less time to press the alt and 156, and keep the current settings :)

    Yet, if you're using an English Keyboard, you'd expect it to be setup like an English one :)

    It's a no-brainer really, works your way, works the way mentioned when changed. Personally I'd prefer to use the US > UK keyboard because I'd never remember the alt codes.
