Note to self ... When brain can't work it out and cheating is required - get a dictionary with more than the current 236,000 English words if you want to solve one of Dave's clues! Where the hell do you get them from?????? :confused: Rich

[hairy_hats]

Nice one. :-)

I didn't know the word myself. I worked out parts of it from the clue, then cheated using wiktionary index. :-O

Well done, and welcome back! IT from Gin and It, It being Italian, whence Vermouth comes from.

There are now more than 1,000,000 words in English, so there a few to choose from. I first heard the word when I was about 11 years old, it was the religious overseer at a wedding between Count Grendell and Princess Strella in 'The Androids of Tara' (Which was based on Anthony Hope's The Prisoner of Zenda)
