Dawdle behind on the street and get angry about gravel verges (8)
I believe the answer is:
straggle
'dawdle behind' is the definition.
'straggle' can be an answer for 'dawdle' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'behind' bit.
'the street and get angry about gravel verges' is the wordplay.
'the street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'and get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'angry about gravel verges' becomes 'raggle' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'st'+'raggle'='STRAGGLE'
'on' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for straggle that I've seen before include "Wander" , "Untidy group" , "Spread out untidily" , "String out" , "Linger behind" .)
