E.g. ass working Bude seafront, carrying British (5,2,6)
I believe the answer is:
beast of burden
'e g ass' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'working bude seafront carrying british' is the wordplay.
'working' indicates an anagram.
'carrying' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'bude'+'seafront'='budeseafront'
'budeseafront' is an anagram of 'beastofurden'.
'beastofurden' going around 'b' is 'BEAST OF BURDEN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beast of burden that I've seen before include "donkey, say" , "Animal used for carrying loads" , "Animal carrying heavy loads" , "Animal used for transporting loads" , "Animal used for heavy work" .)
