Of course, my advice only works if you're talking about GBP 123.45. If you need to type a different amount, my advice is no good. The GBP bit will still work, of course, but you'll need to figure out your own numbers.

Hope this helps!



LOL, but of course, I knew what you meant.

Because I don't have the pound sign I've always had to write "pounds" -- now I can just abbreviate it with GBP which I hadn't thought to do before, so cheers.

Try Greenhill's suggestion above it works quite well.

This site has a few commonly used characters like £, just copy and paste the relevant "HTML number" directly into a message. ¶

There's even a proper division sign there: ÷ ¶
