Bucket gives Penny trouble (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pail

'bucket' is the definition.
('pail' can be a synonym of 'bucket')

'penny trouble' is the wordplay.
'penny' becomes 'p'.
'trouble' becomes 'ail' ('ail' can be a synonym of 'trouble'**).
'p'+'ail'='PAIL'

'gives' is the link.

(Other definitions for pail that I've seen before include "Container; sounds like dim" , "A bucket as for water" , "A bucket - the kind Jack and Jill used" , "Kind of bucket - ask Jack and Jill" , "Open-topped container" .)
