Sounds like you've (inadvertently) set your locale to Spain. What version and make of operating system are you using?

All you have to do to get your keyboard back to normal mode is press ctrl + shift keys together. Check to see if it's back to normal by pressing the quotation mark key (second key to the right of the L). If it's still acting up, press ctrl + shift again one more time. This should bring you back to normal.

Let's try the simple way first:
Press the Windows key and the Space bar together. That should enable you to return to the UK keyboard.
