Thanks for that Anne.
now a funny thing the keyboard does indeed say £ under shift 3 as you
would expect it to, however things like
@ ", | ~
quote tilda vertical bar etc are still, as far as I am concerned, in the
wrong place. Sorry if I offend anyone who are used to the American
layout. it's just what I am used to.

does anyone know how to change the keyboard on my Macbook from american
layout to British?
The place to do this is the International pane in System Preferences, but
are you sure it's set to American? If Shift-3 gives you a pound sign and
Option-3 gives you Number, then your keyboard is already set to British.
also could anyone tell me when using spell checker how do i get it to
give me a list of replacement options i.e if i spell a word wrong it
will take me there but won't give me any options to replace it
Press command-semicolon and VO will speak the first misspelled word in
your text. Repeat this procedure until it speaks the word you want to
change, then press Control and click the trackpad button (VO-Shift-m
doesn't seem to work for this). Use up and down arrows to find the
replacement word you want then press Return.
Cheers,
Anne
