Chambers 21st. Century Dictionary, Thumb Index by Mairi Robinson

My parents were a bit flustered to learn they had just bought me a British English dictionary, but I was delighted. Provides an interesting alternative to our other dictionary and British pronunciation guides. Comprehensive and useful.
