E.g. ass working Bude seafront, carrying British (5,2,6)
I believe the answer is:
beast of burden
'e g ass' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'working bude seafront carrying british' is the wordplay.
'working' is an anagram indicator.
'carrying' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'bude'+'seafront'='budeseafront'
'budeseafront' anagrammed gives 'beastofurden'.
'beastofurden' placed around 'b' is 'BEAST OF BURDEN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beast of burden that I've seen before include "donkey, say" , "Animal used for carrying loads" , "Animal carrying heavy loads" , "Animal used for transporting loads" , "Animal used for heavy work" .)
