Letters providing protection for owner of mobile home? (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
snail mail
'letters' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'protection for owner of mobile home?' is the wordplay.
'protection' becomes 'mail' (mail is a kind of protection).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'owner of mobile home?' becomes 'snail' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'mail' after 'snail' is 'SNAIL MAIL'.
'providing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snail mail that I've seen before include "traditional post" , "The conventional postal service" , "Slow delivery" , "old-fashioned correspondence?" , "Modern jargon for letter post, mollusc-slow compared to electronic transport" .)
