Trot supporting Labour.
Answer “child bearing”
Should this be “tot” not “trot” or am I missing some definition of “trot”?

Lie-in King to the rescue as always! Thank you. I looked in my online dictionary because Chambers was on the shelf next door. Mistake. It’s a bit recondite even so. Where is it used colloquially I wonder? Anyone know? Not in my NW/Fenland/SE/SW experience. St Kilda maybe?

Glad I could help :-)

'Trot' (or 'trottie') is a Victorian/Edwardian colloquialism, I believe, which rapidly fell into disuse during first half of the last century.
