Cheers Yankee crossing globe, arriving at Devon council (6)
I believe the answer is:
torbay
'devon council' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'cheers yankee crossing globe' is the wordplay.
'cheers' becomes 'ta' (both can informally mean thank you).
'yankee' becomes 'Y' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'crossing' is an insertion indicator (to cross can mean to go over or around).
'globe' becomes 'orb' (synonyms).
'ta'+'y'='tay'
'tay' enclosing 'orb' is 'TORBAY'.
'arriving at' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for torbay that I've seen before include "Location for Paignton" , "somewhere on the English Riviera" , "Devon resort area" .)
