Cheap and loud carpet on call centre (6)
I believe the answer is:
frugal
'cheap' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'loud carpet on call centre' is the wordplay.
'loud' becomes 'f' (short for forte - 'loud' in music).
'carpet' becomes 'rug' (synonyms).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'centre' indicates the central letters.
The centre of 'call' is 'al'.
'f'+'rug'+'al'='FRUGAL'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for frugal that I've seen before include "Abstemious" , "not extravagant" , "Thrifty or parsimonious" , "Thrifty - meagre" , "Sparing, meagre" .)
