A payment of debt three letters)

[walcot]

I have U being the third letter., but also have U as the first letter from 1D Knutsford. U>U does not appear to be correct where have I gone wrong?

[sherrardk]

Is it IOU?

[dxhound2003]

Utu

Maori word

[mac44]

utu

[MarkRae]

An IOU is hardly a "payment" - quite the reverse, in fact...

[mutt53]

UTU

[sherrardk]

Quick to criticise but no answer Mark? What is UTU (for the people who did answer)?

Thanks Mamy - where I looked it said it was a sun god (you do learn something new every day).

[dxhound2003]

From Chambers dictionary:

Utu: (Maori) noun, settlement (whether monetary or in kind) of a debt, retribution, vengance.

> Quick to criticise but no answer Mark?

The question had already been answered...

[sherrardk]

So why the need to butt in?

[MarkRae]

Butt in???

Are you in charge now...?

[sherrardk]

Obviously not - just think it was a bit over the top to state the bleeding obvious. Yes, I was way off the mark, but it wasn't your question so I don't understand why you felt the need to comment.

[MarkRae]

> just think it was a bit over the top to state the bleeding obvious.

Really? If I posted something which was clearly nonsense, I'd expect somebody to point it out...

[cherrychapstick]

mark he never said that was the answer ,he asked if it might be sher mark is always like that better off ignoring the posts totally ,he's quick to hide when he fluffs up which I've seen twice on here at least he doesn't like it when he gets corrected

[sherrardk]

Thanks Cherry - was going to rise to it but won't bother now.

[cherrychapstick]
