A laugh about English type of transport (7)
I believe the answer is:
haulage
'transport' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a laugh about english type' is the wordplay.
'about' says to put letters next to each other.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'type' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'laugh'='alaugh'
'alaugh' put after 'e' is 'ealaugh'.
'ealaugh' is an anagram of 'HAULAGE'.
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for haulage that I've seen before include "Commercial transportation of goods" , "Transportation of heavy goods" , "Transport business" , "Commercial transport of goods" , "Road transport" .)
