Braille Dictionary

I have phoned the RNIB, and they only have a child's one, or a 28 volume dictionary, for which there simply isn't space! Any ideas? It should be an English dictionary, purely in braille, suitable for an adult who can already read braille, not just learning, and be available in the UK.

Many thanks in advance!
I have tried the RNIB, anything Google can suggest to me that comes up in the first fifteen pages of results, and Amazon, The Book Depository etc.

just want a laugh! they have to be true contradictions. here are a fewi know:

the Nazis believed that the Aryan race was the best. anyone without blue eyes and blonde hair would be an enemy. their leader, Hitler, had black hair.

every drive-through ATM machine has braille on it.

every toaster has a setting so high, it burns the toast to a crisp.

"Reading for Dummies" is a book on how to read. there are also water-proof towels, solar-powered flashlights, dictionary's index, and ejector's seat to the helacopter.

My school "forces" us to participate in "voluntary" community service lol

How can someone be forced to volunteer?

I have been told that the purpose of earwax is to stop insects from getting in your ear and eating your brain. If I smother myself in earwax will it stop me getting bitten by mosquitoes. At last years East Suffolk Flint Knapper's fancy dress barn dance I was damn near eaten alive. People were thinking I had come as the Braille Dictionary.

HA, you're just making this up you imbecile.
Last years East Suffolk Flint Knapper's fancy dress barn dance
was canceled because of the Sausage run in Yoinkers grove and the East Suffolk Flint Knapper's fancy dress barn dance had an alternate date in July following The second annual Bullwinkles find that ugly maiden in the hay contest.

I bought a new brand of bleach yesterday.
It had the word 'bleach' in braille on it, beside the barcode.

I looked it up in the dictionary to figure out what it was.
No other product in my bathroom had any embossing on it.
Now that I know the alphabet, it would be handy.

I have sometimes included shopping for my neighbours after eye operations, but now I'm thinking they only asked me for basics. What if they had preferred a choice? Another bossy neighbour offers, but I've heard him say "You don't want that, it's too expensive." and people decline his offer. I've heard them say "How much is it?" and him reply "Too much, you don't want to know."

If you have no choice about being blind, are you denied all other choices? Why doesn't every regular household product have embossed Braille labels as standard? How can they possibly choose? What if they would like to buy, say, condoms? Or anything more personal and yet normal? I would dread being dependent on how others feel.

Slowly but surely just like barcodes everything will have braille codes. Its going to take a while but it wioll be done. The trial lawyers have several class action lawsuits already about this.
