People in England, when you press Shift+4, do you get "$" or "£"?

Appears to be a British computer keyboard

The 'at' sign, 'tilde', 'double-quote', and 'apostrophe' is all switched around.

I can understand swapping the british pound for the american pound, but why move the quotes?

When you say "imbecile" you really mean "American" don'tcha?"

Six, half a dozen...

I hope you realise that the original layout was similar to the british one.
In fact this very old typewriter uses a third new crazy layout.

Seriously, you cannot complain about a UK QWERTY... the AZERTY kicks it's ass. YOU NEED TO HIT SHIFT TO TYPE NUMBERS.

Ack, the French use that and I hate it. Try working on a laptop with that stupid thing. IIRC, though, you have to hit Alt Gr and the numbers for them to work.
