Why B flat?

I'm working through the most recent lessons and am puzzel'd. In the key of F, why does a B flat creep in, where in all other key's sharps are used to cater for 1/2 steps and are used in the key signature. Why not call this an A sharp?

I know there's gonna be a reason but I've looked and looked and perhaps the obvious isn't staring me in the face.

Thanks in advance for the answer.

Best regards Dave W

It looks like Tekker wrote that post just for you Dave. You couldn't ask for a better answer.

Well if you wrote it as an A# that wouldn't go with the chord thats written. Also, in F, there is one flat, which is Bb.
