Gangster, sweetheart and actor keeping house in disarray (3,4,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
all over the shop
'in disarray' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'gangster sweetheart and actor keeping house' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'gangster' could be 'al' (Al Capone) and 'al' is located in the answer.
'sweetheart' could be 'lover' (sweetheart can mean a lover) and 'lover' is present in the answer.
'house' could be 'ho' (abbreviation for house) and 'ho' is found within the answer.
'actor' could be 'thesp' (short for thespian, term for an actor) and 'thesp' is located in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for all over the shop that I've seen before include "everywhere" , "Disorganised" , "like retail managers, collectively?" , "Where salespersons may be" , "Where sales assistants may be" .)
