Man beginning to retail sandwiches without bread, shopkeeper not giving full value? (10)
I believe the answer is:
pawnbroker
'retail sandwiches without bread shopkeeper not giving full value?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'man beginning to' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'pawn' (man can mean a chess piece).
'beginning to' becomes 'broker' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'pawn'+'broker'='PAWNBROKER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pawnbroker that I've seen before include "shopkeeper" , "Uncle's" , "Money-lender" , "One who does business" , "His sign is three balls" .)
