7,5 ???L?A? SUGAR

Are you sure about your letters if not
perhaps crystal sugar?

Thanks but the l is definite.

Bloody "L" !!

If the L is really an I, could the A really be an E?

if the answer is yes then it could be REFINED SUGAR.

How about REGULAR SUGAR,again if some of your letters are incorrect?

... But if the L is really an L and the A is really an A, then Chambers lists 166 possibilities (don't you just love that word as it has the same number of "i"s as Mississippi). Some good ones are ANGLIAN, CHILEAN, ITALIAN, RAILWAY, URALIAN and ZOILEAN. A bit more esoteric is AEOLIAN and ones to be definitely avoided are COALTAR, NUCLEAR and REALGAR. The latter as it has the chemical formula of AsS (I'll leave the reader to figure that one out).

The mind boggles at the thought of stirring in a spoonful of nuclear sugar!!!

Hi John (from Arran)
I should think that the AEOLIAN variety should also best be avoided especially when taking tea with the vicar!!
