Is it possible to type hashes (as in, the things which mean 'number') on a macbook? I can't seem to find them anywhere on the keyboard. So, can you type them?

Do you mean the symbol on the "3" key? The '#'?

Yeah, I do mean that symbol - but on my keyboard the '3' key is the pound sign (£). I have no idea where the hash would be...

Character Palette is your friend. If you have a nice little UK flag on the top bar of your display, click on it and you'll get the option to view the keyboard viewer or character palette.
Or, referring to Apple's Help:
To use the Character Palette:
Open the application you want to type in, and place the insertion point where you want the special character or symbol to appear.
Choose Edit > Special Characters to open the Character Palette, or click the Input menu icon in the menu bar and choose Show Character Palette.
Choose the type of characters you want to see from the View pop-up menu at the top of the Character Palette window.
If you don't see the View pop-up menu, click the button in the upper-right corner of the Character Palette to show the top portion of the window. Click this button again to hide the top portion of the window.
Click an item in the list on the left to see the characters that are available in each category.
Double-click the character or symbol in the right column that you want to insert into your document.
You can also select the character and click Insert. To see more options for each character, such as the variations in glyphs for some characters, click the Character Info triangle and then the Font Variation triangle at the bottom of the Character Palette window.

I also find these useful, for me:
# alt 3
© alt g
alt shift k
Ω alt z
º alt 0
≈ Alt x
Open Textedit, then alt along the keyboard...
¡€#¢∞§¶•ªº–≠œ∑´®†¥¨^øπ ‘åß∂ƒ©˙∆˚¬…æ«Ω≈ç√`∫~µ ≥÷
Then of course, there's shift alt !!
