Cockney primarily employed as nurse? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
east ender
'cockney' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'primarily employed as nurse?' is the wordplay.
'primarily' says to take the initial letters.
'nurse?' becomes 'tender' (a nurse tends to patients).
The first letter of 'employed' is 'e'.
'e'+'as'+'tender'='EAST-ENDER'
(Other definitions for east ender that I've seen before include "Citizen" , "Possibly Pearly King" , "City dweller" , "TV character" , "Cockney" .)
