How The Heck...?

Today's Daily Mail cryptic cw 16431, 5 across, "English disease heads west to Bury" (6)...well, we can only figure "eugalp" and if that is right, how the heck are we meant to know that? - I did check on google after and there is some kind of app or android connection, but even so...! - anyone else struggle with this one? Ta Muchly and Take Care - except the crossword compiler!

[Fitzer]

Unless I've missed the point

Engulf - eng (english) & flu reversed (heads west)

Yeah Fitz, I know its plague, but it didn't/doesn't look right the right way round, l to r!

[dannyk13]

Not plague, look up woodelf

[woodelf]

Yes, of course, it's engulf - of course it is, just that rotter of a compiler using eng instead of the usual e for english...but then again the compiler doesn't play usual!...Many Thanks All!
