French boy friend in central Bognor (5)
I believe the answer is:
gamin
'french boy' is the definition.
'gamin' can be an answer for 'boy' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'french' bit.
'friend in central bognor' is the wordplay.
'friend' becomes 'ami' (I've seen this before).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'central' means to look at the middle letters.
The central letters of 'bognor' are 'gn'.
'ami' placed within 'gn' is 'GAMIN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gamin that I've seen before include "Street kid" , "Waif" , "stray" , "Street urchin or impudent child" , "Ragged child" .)
