Not many are prepared to row there (3,2,5)
I believe the answer is:
two or three
'not many' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'prepared to row there' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates an anagram.
'to'+'row'+'there'='torowthere'
'torowthere' with letters rearranged gives 'TWO OR THREE'.
'are' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for two or three that I've seen is " A few".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
