Any pointers on my last two, please?

4d Gauge measurement for English city (7)
?E?G?N?
(not confident about the G)

17d Hole in small chamber where bread absorbs much water (3,4)
?O? S?A?

I'm a bit cross about this crossword (not enough clues; too many solvable from letter pattern alone), so I don't intend knocking my brains out on it.

The G in 4 is a D, so I've got that one now.

Yes agree it's a poor crossword, but then it is "Paul" today!!

I'm still pondering on 17d too

17 think lavatory for chamber?

AHA! it's loo seat!

Should have spotted that sooner with Paul!!

Thanks both - I agree, very "Pauline".

I don't see how it parses, though.

Loot around sea

LOOT for "bread", with SEA for "much water"? Not very good.

Thanks scorpiojo - we crossed.
