Gaul

[Jimbrock]

See the earlier post, which I entered late. Surely, GAUL!

[Lie-in King]

I prefer 'Gall'

A member of the crossword club would be helpful here :-)

[turast]

I think I posted the original query on this. Strictly speaking, they should allow both. I am galled.

[mra1]

Gaul as bitterness is "said" ie implied

[imagcq]

is there anybody out there who has posted online and got the correct answer

[BigMac]

Caesar's conquest (Gaul) said (ie sounds like) to create bitterness = gall

Surely?

[Obscurantist]

This is very ambiguous for a clue which is a homophone. Strictly speaking such ambiguity should only be acceptable if the grid allows you to solve it by solving other clues, but in this case it doesn't.

Having said that I will enter GALL rather than GAUL

[roslyn251254]

I entered GALL online in the xword club and got all correct. Perhaps they are accepting either?

[shooty]
