In the UK, "#" is more commonly known as "hash" or "number sign".

For us, "pound sign" usually means "£" ;o)

Windows Vista's character map (and probably Windows 7's as well?) 
displays the name of the selected character (and can search for 
characters by name). It calls # "Number Sign" and £ "Pound Sign". I 
think those are the "official" names defined by Unicode.

Mark.
