Employee whose tax included a pound note? (5)
I believe the answer is:
valet
'employee' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'tax included a pound note?' is the wordplay.
'tax' becomes 'VAT' (UK Value Added Tax).
'included' is an insertion indicator.
'a pound' becomes 'L' (abbreviation e.g. Lsd - pounds, shillings, pence).
'l'+'e'='le'
'vat' enclosing 'le' is 'VALET'.
'whose' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for valet that I've seen before include "Clean inside" , "Gentleman's assistant" , "Man's servant" , "Batman" , "Clean (a car); attendant" .)
