I'm sorry to ruin Nancy's Thanksgiving Day by announcing that her elaborate
religious tapestry (Def 11) gained her 5 points and has won her the next
deal. Chris Carson is the real winner with 4 points for his plough blade.
Dan Widdis and Efrem Mallach guessed correctly that a PULAMITER is a person
who whinges - apparently it's only found in the works of D H Lawrence.

Over to you, Nancy.
