Ross

I believe the answer is:

delirious

'crazy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'fine food shop right to take promissory notes?' is the wordplay.
'fine food shop' becomes 'deli' (I've seen this before).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to take' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'promissory notes?' becomes 'ious' (IOU is an example).
'deli'+'r'+'ious'='DELIRIOUS'

(Other definitions for delirious that I've seen before include "In wild ecstasy" , "Frenzied" , "Ecstatic" , "Highly excited - hallucinating" , "In a state of wild excitement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
