If I were to be paid I would probably ask for payment in UKP - not a
standard I invented but one, which, in the days when I worked for a living
(long before the days of ISO standards), was the standard used when
communicating with the USA (who were more used to USD)

You might be remembering "UKL" which is what the banks used before "GBP".
