Hotel, you say, close to job centre by implication (8)
I believe the answer is:
innuendo
'implication' is the definition.
(innuendo is a kind of implication)
'hotel you say close to job centre' is the wordplay.
'hotel' becomes 'inn' (inn is a kind of hotel).
'say' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'close' becomes 'end' (I've seen this before).
'to job centre' becomes 'o' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'you' is a homophone of 'u'.
'inn'+'u'+'end'+'o'='INNUENDO'
'by' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for innuendo that I've seen before include "Rude suggestion" , "Indirect reference to something rude" , "Suggestive remark" , "Oblique allusion" , "Naughty suggestion" .)
