# hash sign on UK keyboard

Hi,
I was struggling to find the # hash sign shortcut on UK keyboard.
Advice on other threads is to use Alt + 3 but it did not work
Thought I would give a heads up to help a.n.others this only works with the right hand Alt + 3.
strange, it works with my left hand alt key and 3.
Left Alt + 3 also works for me.
I always remember that # is on the 3 key as the Americans call that a pound and the British keyboard has the £ (pound) sign on the 3 key as Shift + 3.

I have that one and also a wired one with the numeric keypad, both work the same. DO any other key combinations cause you problems?
