Harry, is this really the right source? I don't edit British English so I do not have personal knowledge, but none of my colleagues who do cite Fowler's as
the source. Instead, they cite the Oxford Style Manual. They all do have Fowler's as part of their resource shelf, but rely on Oxford as the British equivalent of the Chicago Manual of Style.
