10a Ulling
18d Palsgrave

[jasoncrosswords]

i am referring to the 18d question

[jasoncrosswords]

ulling?? I can't find that anywhere on the internet!!!! Palsgrave is right though... good one.

Hi jason... - Chambers has -

"ullage - the quantity by which a vessel is holding less than its full capacity..."

"ulling - the making good of ullage"

[jasoncrosswords]

thanks for that

Many thanks - think I may have 30a wrong. Having 10 feet,like crabs,lobsters & prawns(10) I put Pereiopods which conflicts with Palgrave, and couldnt make decapods fit!!
