strange that was my last missing clue too. am i right in thinking that 33D is not in Chambers? and fishy?

[Christiana]

Me, too, mintyman, and I was wondering the same thing. I�m away from home and only have a very old
Chambers here, so wondered if it was that.

[mintyman99]

i have ROBOLO. only word that fits. not in chambers 10th edition or in chambers online so is it right?

[Christiana]

Yes, that�s the word I came up with. I spend most of my time in Portugal and it�s quite common there, but not in Chambers. It is in one of the on-line dictionaries. I�ll make further enquiries.

[Christiana]

Mintyman, the word on the block is �rotolo� which I did find in an ancient Chambers. Apparently it�s another word for �roti

Thanks Christiana. well spotted.
