British pose and sunbathe (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bask

'sunbathe' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'british pose' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'pose' becomes 'ask' (synonyms).
'b'+'ask'='BASK'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for bask that I've seen before include "Lie in warmth" , "revel" , "Sunbathe" , "Lie in the sun" , "Soak up sun" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
