Get it in the neck from the butcher in post over Charlie contacting local paper (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
scrag end
'get it in the neck from the butcher' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'post over charlie contacting local paper' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'charlie' could be 'c' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'c' is found in the answer.
'paper' could be 'rag' (rag can mean a newspaper) and 'rag' is found in the answer.
'post' could be 'send' (synonyms) and 'send' is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scrag end that I've seen before include "Meat" , "Cut inferior" , "cut of lamb" , "cheap cut" , "Inferior mutton" .)
