Mama had a thing about spiritual adviser (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
mahatma gandhi
'spiritual adviser' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'mama had a thing about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'mama'+'had'+'a'+'thing'='mamahadathing'
'mamahadathing' anagrammed gives 'MAHATMA GANDHI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
