Just a note from Scotland.  As I stood at the Ulva Ferry today, waiting 
to take a boat out to Staffa for Fingal's cave and Lunga to chat with 
puffins, surely the world's most improbable flying birds, I noticed that 
the British no longer use the p symbol for pence.  Using # for pound 
because my netbook lacks the proper pound symbol, the 50p fare for 
bicycles to go from Mull to Ulva is displayed as #0.50.
