Communications from pair propping up the bar? (5)
I believe the answer is:
posts
'communications' is the definition.
(post is a kind of communication)
'from pair propping up the bar?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pss' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for posts that I've seen before include "Jobs and poles" , "Sends by mail" , "Stakes" , "a couple seen propping up the bar?" , "Positions, for guards say" .)
