Dodgy OAPs look after gold in financial centre (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
sao paulo
'financial centre' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'dodgy oaps look after gold' is the wordplay.
'dodgy' is an anagram indicator (a dodgy or wrong order of the letters).
'look' becomes 'lo' ('lo' is an archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'gold' becomes 'Au' (Au is the chemical symbol for gold).
'oaps' anagrammed gives 'saop'.
'lo' after 'au' is 'aulo'.
'saop'+'aulo'='SAO PAULO'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sao paulo that I've seen before include "City in southern Brazil" , "Large city of Brazil" , "Latin city" , "Brazilian city" .)
