South-east journalist getting a smaller amount without pips (8)
I believe the answer is:
seedless
'without pips' is the definition.
('pip' can be 'seed' (I've seen this before) so maybe 'without pips' can be ''seedless')
'south-east journalist getting a smaller amount' is the wordplay.
'south east' becomes 'SE' (abbreviation).
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'a smaller amount' becomes 'less' (I've seen this in another clue).
'se'+'ed'+'less'='SEEDLESS'
(Other definitions for seedless that I've seen before include "sort of grape" , "(Of fruit) without pips" , "Like some grapes" , "having no offspring" .)
