Station surrounded by multitude of buses ignoring old lady with hungry dog (6,7)
I believe the answer is:
mother hubbard
'station surrounded by multitude' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'buses ignoring old lady with hungry dog' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'old' could be 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English) and 'o' is found within the answer.
'lady' could be 'her' (her refers to a woman) and 'her' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
