They aren't all named Giles! (7)
I believe the answer is:
farmers
'they' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are plural nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for farmers that I've seen before include "Agronomists" , "Cultivators of land" .)
