I found the word JAGGERY in a guide book while planning a trip to
India. It's a brown sugar made from palm sap; Johnny Barrs (aka Mr
DQ) and Toni Savage were DQ and two of you guessed that the real
meaning was def number 15.
Chuck Emery takes the next deal with 6 natural points, while Scott
Crom can - for a change - relax in second place with an unnatural 6.
Let's hope this breaks the sequence, Scott!
Over to you, Chuck.
