Where one could get a spare item of crockery in kitchen (7,5)
I believe the answer is:
bowling alley
'where one could get a spare item' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'crockery in kitchen' is the wordplay.
'crockery' becomes 'bowl' (bowl is a kind of crockery).
'kitchen' becomes 'galley' (galley is a kind of kitchen).
'bowl'+'in'+'galley'='BOWLING ALLEY'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bowling alley that I've seen before include "Where to find rolling pins" , "Where to play skittles" , "entertainment hall" .)
