British man should go in but accelerated (9)
I believe the answer is:
broughton
'accelerated' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'british man should go in' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'man' becomes 'ron' (short for Ronald).
'should' becomes 'ought' (synonyms).
'go in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ron' enclosing 'ought' is 'roughton'.
'b'+'roughton'='BROUGHTON'
'but' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
