11:22 am

alternate spelling for the type of roll, btw.

11:51 am

marksdolly

that's great! was having a hard time cluing

11:52 am

cybernan

yes - thought you were talking about a specific general because there is no "a" in the grid

11:53 am

cybernan

and we don't call it a roll but a bun

11:56 am

1:18 pm

MollyL

Turns out the word in the grid is pronounced like the egg holiday and the square is pronounced like Chester

1:21 pm

granadan

the square also has an extra ce in the middle. We have another county pronounced wusster, which looks as if it has four syllables when written.

1:22 pm
