Fall over at job centre doing head stand? (6)
I believe the answer is:
tripod
'stand?' is the definition.
(I know that tripod is a type of tripod)
'fall over at job centre doing head' is the wordplay.
'fall over' becomes 'trip' (I've seen this in another clue).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'centre' indicates the central letters.
'head' indicates taking the first letters.
The centre of 'job' is 'o'.
The initial letter of 'doing' is 'd'.
'trip'+'o'+'d'='TRIPOD'
(Other definitions for tripod that I've seen before include "oral test at school" , "Drop it (anag)" , "Stand for camera etc" , "Support needed" , "Three-legged support" .)
