Like the presidential office of Surrey C.C.C.? (4)
I believe the answer is:
oval
'like' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'presidential office of surrey c c c ?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'val' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oval that I've seen before include "London cricket ground" , "Elliptical figure" , "It's egg-shaped for cricketers" , "Squashed circle" , "sports ground" .)
