SPAR (shop) reversed with SP (special) ?
sorry S (special)
Reversed(up) it reads SPAR with s(tocking) inside
I can see SPAR is in there (but in wrong order) and maybe S for special but I haven't heard of rasps
Sorry, of course SPAR is reversed- was looking at wrong S
rasp (rɑːsp)
n
(Plants) an informal or Scot word for raspberry

Emeritis,
You use special to get the "s" can you explain why that and not stocking. I am still trying to learn.
Stocking as included
I read it as Stocking being the indicator to include S (special) in the reversed word
The stocking indicated that the RAPS (spar reversed) includes a letter. I assume Special is sometimes abbreviated to S (maybe as in SAS?)
Thank you, it becomes immediately apparent and gives me another nugget of information.
