Vagrant blacked out a lot (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bucketload

'a lot' is the definition.
(a bucketload is a lot of something)

'vagrant blacked out' is the wordplay.
'vagrant' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'blacked'+'out'='blackedout'
'blackedout' anagrammed gives 'BUCKETLOAD'.

(Other definitions for bucketload that I've seen before include "great deal" , "Very large amount" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
