After upgrading my (UK) iMac to 10.7 I find that the £ and # keys are transposed i.e. shift-3 gives # and alt-3 gives £ which, I assume, is the standard US layout. I also upgraded my MacBook but this transposition didn't occur. What's going on here?!
iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, Mac OS X (10.7)

>System Preference>Keyboard>Keyboard
and turn on the Show keyboard & Character Viewer
select input source
<SHOW INPUT VIEW IN MENU BAR> then menubar show keyboard view.
With your option key you can get an overview.
My alt-3 is showing this £
shift-3 is showing this #

Thanks. Foolish of me. I had the US keyboard enabled. The UK keyboard is labelled British which also confused me.
The Pound and Hash keys are transposed on my (UK) iMac since upgrading to Mac OS X Lion.
