Local pump attendant? (6)
I believe the answer is:
barman
'attendant?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'local pump' is the wordplay.
'local' becomes 'bar' (I've seen this before).
'pump' becomes 'man' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'bar'+'man'='BARMAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for barman that I've seen before include "He serves drink" , "Who could help with getting mops and brooms" , "he might be responsible for you getting shot" , "In pub he might pull" , "Male who serves in a pub" .)
