Dock my allowance? Remuneration is not ample, for starters! (6)
I believe the answer is:
marina
'dock' is the definition.
(I know that Marina is a type of dock)
'my allowance? remuneration is not ample for starters' is the wordplay.
'for starters' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'my allowance remuneration is not ample' is 'MARINA'.
(Other definitions for marina that I've seen before include "Pleasure-boat dock" , "Airman (anag)" , "part of harbour?" , "Base for pleasure boats" , "Dock for pleasure craft" .)
