Many use the Catholic version New English Bible
There are also the older Douay Reims(Challoner)
the incomplete Knox Version
The Jerusalem Bible and other approved Catholic versions of English Bible translations that have the full Bible containing the Deuterocanonicals in the OT.

I don't know what the Brits suggest but the best English translation of the bible used by the Catholic Church is the Douay-Rheims Bible. You could also do well with a Haydock bible if you like to have the commentary.

An English Bible.
Edit - To C - Of course, the KJV is 100% right on, especially in Isaiah 34.7
"And the UNICORNS shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness."
