Cold salesperson getting English pancake (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crepe

'pancake' is the definition.
(I know that crepe is a type of pancake)

'cold salesperson getting english' is the wordplay.
'cold' becomes 'C' (eg on taps).
'salesperson' becomes 'rep' (sales rep).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'c'+'rep'+'e'='CREPE'

(Other definitions for crepe that I've seen before include "Crinkly fabric and French pancake" , "sole?" , "Pancake - type of paper" , "Crinkly material" , "Thin twenty four Ac" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
