Ban on snooker player in dormitory town? (7,3)
I believe the answer is:
potters bar
'town?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'ban on snooker player in dormitory' is the wordplay.
'ban' becomes 'bar' (I've seen this before).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'snooker player' becomes 'potter' (pots balls).
'in dormitory' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'potter'+'s'='potters'
'bar' put after 'potters' is 'POTTERS BAR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for potters bar that I've seen before include "town near London" , "Herts town?" , "somewhere off the M twenty five" , "north of London" , "English town" .)
