Hi Tim I thought I would call Sam about my
order today. My daughter got the job of
dialing ready to hand over to mum.
The American # pound sign threw her tho
on your automated phone, we call that the
hash sign as our pound sign = £
So mum took over and Sam was busy so I
placed my order via the WWW.
So what Rita I hear you say I was just wondering
what people from other countries call the hash ##
sign ?
