bread bin

'a bloomer there perhaps' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'money backing writer?' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'bread' (bread is slang for money).
'backing' is a reversal indicator.
'writer?' becomes 'nib' (something which writes).
'nib' reversed gives 'bin'.
'bread'+'bin'='BREAD-BIN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bread bin that I've seen before include "Receptacle for loaf" , "Loaf holder" , "Food container" , "Loaf container" .)

I've seen this clue in the Independent.
