Bald Ulsterman moved item of hall furniture? (8,5)
I believe the answer is:
umbrella stand
'item of hall furniture?' is the definition.
'bald ulsterman moved' is the wordplay.
'moved' indicates an anagram.
'bald'+'ulsterman'='baldulsterman'
'baldulsterman' with letters rearranged gives 'UMBRELLA-STAND'.
(Another definition for umbrella stand that I've seen is " Bullets ran mad (anag) - found in porch or hall".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
