Not that I have anything against my trans-atlantic cousins, but I want to change my keyboard layout from US English to UK English.

I need to type ' # ' and ' ~ ' and I don't know what position they are at in Ubuntu!

# results in a

#+shift results in a |

I want to solve the problem using the GUI.

Go to Keyboard layouts under system settings, and click on it. Once open remove English (US), and add the English (UK) that you want. Click on the Plus (+) sign to add, and the minus(-) sign to remove. See images below.

(It will be English UK with Extended Win Keys)
