£ is pound sterling sign, not pound sign. # is pound sign.

    Not over here it isn't.

    I'm from neither there nor there, but given that there are two signs that can be called pound sign, it's IMO less confusing if you use "pound sterling" sign for the pound sterling, and "pound" sign for the other pound sign

    Also the word pound has lost all meaning to me now, it look weird to read or write the word pound
