P.S. An almost totally off topic question - should I avoid using the pound

Yes. I'm only seeing question marks here.

The convention i see most often is to use ISO 4217 currency codes
postnumerically; for instance, i might assert that Sir Ian Blair is bent as a
3 UKP note.

Although if i were discussing non-bent currency, that would be GBP.
