Please could someone tell me what the answer is for 10 Across (ginger)? It's driving me mad.

I thought about that... but have no experience of ginger as having "Oomph". Must be a colloquialism?

Lemonade is called 'ginger' by Glaswegians...

How many letters, and do you have any letters?

Was that the whole clue?

When you ginger something up, it would give it more oomph, presumably?

"Oomph" fits, it was a 5 letter word and we had O-M-H.

It was the "H" that threw me.

1974Cookie yes, just the one word as clue.

How about 'spice' as in 'spicing things up?

Thanks, everyone, "oomph" was the correct answer.
