seen this answered previously as free vote.

[baibee]

I can see a vote is a cross but can't see how free vote works with the rest of the clue.

[baibee]

Could with nothing inside it a bag be IOTA as it's O inside it a as if it's been bagged by it and it means nothing as well. I know this doesn't fit with your letters.

N(A)IL

[baibee]

Ah yes of course NAIL it = bag it - thought of nail but couldn't see why! So much for IOTA which actually doesn't even mean nothing, it means a tiny bit!!!

[terrya]

Others could be SOME

[baibee]

Or REST

[terrya]

Definately S??E

[baibee]

SOME MORE Some around memo meaning others

[baibee]
