british jargon

Can someone recommend a good compendium of British jargon/slang? Not just profanity but every day expressions. It would be useful for work. WE're moderating a lot of British chain stores now.

I rely on this one a lot writing fanfic--it says it's a slang dictionary but also has a lot of very useful everyday words.

Shoot. I've just discovered that mine has vanished into the Intrawebz. I found it a great resource in writing HP fic.

I recommend having a british person handy. Mine is Ian (with a Dana on retainer) because I love hearing him say "garage" (rhymes with "carriage)

*giggles* Something in particular you're wondering about or is this preventative measures?
