keyboard pound sign

I get # when I press shift 3. I have tried all the suggestions in a previous thread ... system preferences, language & region and keyboard input preferences. Every time I go to input preferences the British choice is grey. It's blue when I click on it, but will be grey again the next time.

This is a new issue. Has happened once before but I can't remember how I fixed it!

iMac, OS X 10.11

Thanks Tom - option 3 works!

If you want to have it on Shift 3, go to system preferences > keyboard > input sources and make sure that "British" is the only item on the list.
