Distraught chap finds his newspaper no longer covers this (4,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
fish and chips
'newspaper no longer covers this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'distraught chap finds his' is the wordplay.
'distraught' is an anagram indicator (an unsettled or upset order of the letters).
'chap'+'finds'+'his'='chapfindshis'
'chapfindshis' with letters rearranged gives 'FISH AND CHIPS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fish and chips that I've seen before include "Traditional British takeaway food" , "Fried dish" , "Food traditionally served in newspaper" , "Popular British meal" , "Fast food" .)
