A pound is always written as "lb" to prevent confusion with pound (money) It is very old, traced back to the Roman "libra" (which explains its abreviation!). It was defined in England since Ethelred the Unready (968-1016). In fact, a pound (money) was originally a pound (weight) of silver, and the symbol for pound (money) is a stylised L.

It has much to do with the economy of both nations, and what each is doing to keep its finances in check.\nThe UK economy is strong, has influence in the world, and I doubt that Mr.Blair is running a Trillion dollar deficit.

Two main factors went into GB's decision to keep the pound rather than adopt the euro. First, the British pound is very strong, especially compared to the American dollar. Why fix something that isn't broken? Second, GB has had the pound system for centuries, it's a tradition they take great pride in.
