It always managed to block allowance for Victoria, say (7,7)
I believe the answer is:
railway station
'victoria say' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'it always managed to block allowance' is the wordplay.
'managed' is an anagram indicator.
'to block' is an insertion indicator (block can mean to fill a hole in something).
'allowance' becomes 'ration' (I've seen this before).
'it'+'always'='italways'
'italways' anagrammed gives 'ailwayst'.
'ailwayst' put inside 'ration' is 'RAILWAY STATION'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for railway station that I've seen before include "halt?" , "Victoria?" .)
