Pulled a pound out and whined (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

puled

'whined' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'pulled a pound out' is the wordplay.
'a pound' becomes 'L' (the pound sign is based on an L).
'out' is a deletion indicator.
'pulled' with 'l' taken out is 'PULED'.

'and' is the link.

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
