Default American keyboards

Anyone know in what way Hong Kong/American keyboards are different to UK ones?
Any way of changing it to a UK one on a MacBook?

I don't think the Macbook keyboard is any different to the US Macbook

The quotes and @ sign are swapped over... but that's about it.
Just takes a little getting used to.

OK, curiosity got the better of me, here's what you do:

- Go to spotlight, type in 'international'
- The international preferences should be the top hit, select it
- Put a tick in 'Show input menu in menu bar'
- Got to the 'Input Menu' tab
- Scroll down and put a tick next to British

You'll now have a little flag at the top to the right, you can switch the keyboard layouts from there.
