Get Trotter to drop down the analysis of customer traffic (8)
I believe the answer is:
footfall
'down the analysis of customer traffic' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'get trotter to drop' is the wordplay.
'get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'trotter' becomes 'foot' (a trotter is a pig's foot).
'to drop' becomes 'fall' (synonyms).
'foot'+'fall' is 'FOOTFALL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for footfall that I've seen before include "Sound of step" , "Customers" , "Commercial patronage" , "Sound of someone walking" .)
