Round 3078 HENTILAGET Results

[Tim Lodge]

The BBC TV programme that I was watching when I heard this word is called 'The Repair Shop', in which members of the public bring in damaged heirlooms to be restored by a team of skilled craftsmen - what they manage to do is quite astonishing.  Last week a Scottish lady brought in her grandmother's spinning wheel, which had practically fallen to bits.  She recalled her grandmother sending her and her sister out in Shetland, where they grew up, to collect HENTILAGETs to spin into wool.  They're the tufts that sheep leave behind as they wander around, Def 10, as four perceptive players guessed. 

Alan Malach is our new dealer when a commendable 7 natural points for his heavy drinking wager.  Mike Shefler takes the coveted second place with an unnatural 6 points.

Take it away, Alan!

I must have missed that one; I watch that show regularly, in fact I've just finished watching an
episode as I type this!

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

I can't remember if it was last week's episode or the one before.  They do the most astonishing things, but it does help to have all the right tools and materials!
