Kitchen equipment knocked over by servant during strike (8)
I believe the answer is:
stoppage
'strike' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'kitchen equipment knocked over by servant' is the wordplay.
'kitchen equipment' becomes 'pots' (I've seen this in another clue).
'knocked over' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'servant' becomes 'page' (page can mean a boy servant).
'pots' back-to-front is 'stop'.
'stop'+'page'='STOPPAGE'
'during' is the link.
This may not be correct. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stoppage that I've seen before include "Blockage or cessation" , "Closure" , "strike action" , "action by strikers" , "Instance of industrial action" .)
