I have no idea really what you are talking about, but in the UK we have a standard layout. And no matter who I buy from they are all identical except for Lenovo Function key which is swapped with Control, but otherwise identical.
Except Apple who's keyboard is drastically different to literally everyone else's.
Why do they bother with such a poor layout if they are supposed to be such consumer centric?
We do put the £ where Americans put #, but we don't remove it from the keyboard.
2 differences? Read your link.
Back tick is in the wrong place, hash as already discussed is in the wrong place, forward slash is in the wrong place, double quote is in the wrong place, @ is in the wrong place.

Apple doesn't remove it either.

Windows:
- the extra key is added next to the Enter key to accommodate # (number sign) and ~ (tilde)
- The £ (pound sign) takes the place vacated by the number sign on the 3 key
- @ and " are swapped (to ⇧ Shift+' and ⇧ Shift+2, respectively)
- (the list goes on for another 4 or 5 items)
Apple (emphasis mine):
- The # symbol is replaced by the £ symbol (as on PC keyboards); the # is available by pressing ⌥ Option+3
- The " and @ keys are swapped.
- More recent Apple British keyboards move the backquote/~ key to the left of the Z key and replace it with a section sign (§) and a plus-minus sign (±), respectively.
And that's it.
Well. It's three differences compared to US layout, two of them are basically exactly the same as PC versions.

Apart from back tick the rest are consistent with PC layout.
