Exotic dancer surely not suitable for all Johnsons? (3-8)
I believe the answer is:
dry-cleaners
'johnsons?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'exotic dancer surely not suitable for all' is the wordplay.
'exotic' indicates anagramming the letters (an unusual form of the letters).
'not' suggests deleting specific letters.
'suitable for all' becomes 'u' (universal dvd certificate).
'dancer'+'surely'='dancersurely'
'dancersurely' with 'u' taken out is 'dancersrely'.
'dancersrely' anagrammed gives 'DRY-CLEANERS'.
