British nudists surprisingly refuse to go here (8)
I believe the answer is:
dustbins
'refuse to go here' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is a plural noun.
'british nudists surprisingly' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in BBC).
'surprisingly' indicates anagramming the letters (a surprising ordering of the letters).
'b'+'nudists'='bnudists'
'bnudists' with letters rearranged gives 'DUSTBINS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
