Like a bet, flutter and stuff around the old radio (8)
I believe the answer is:
bakelite
'stuff around the old radio' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'like a bet flutter' is the wordplay.
'flutter' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'fluttering' mean this).
'like'+'a'+'bet'='likeabet'
'likeabet' anagrammed gives 'BAKELITE'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bakelite that I've seen before include "Early form of plastic used for tableware, telephones etc" , "'Type of hard plastic, used in old telephones (8)'" , "Type of hard plastic, in old telephones say" .)
