No country lover? Drag one into Northumberland area (6)
I believe the answer is:
townie
'no country lover?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'drag one into northumberland area' is the wordplay.
'drag' becomes 'tow' (towing is a kind of dragging).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'northumberland area' becomes 'ne' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'i' going inside 'ne' is 'nie'.
'tow'+'nie'='TOWNIE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for townie that I've seen before include "Urban type" , "Non-country dweller" , "Inhabitant of an urban area" , "city type" , "No countryman" .)
