Working for rum, a baler or thresher? (4,8)
I believe the answer is:
farm labourer
'thresher?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'working for rum a baler' is the wordplay.
'working' is an anagram indicator.
'for'+'rum'+'a'+'baler'='forrumabaler'
'forrumabaler' with letters rearranged gives 'FARM-LABOURER'.
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
