Metropolis ultimately associated with the glass? (2,6)
I believe the answer is:
st helens
'metropolis ultimately associated with the glass?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'metropolis ultimately associated with the glass?' is the wordplay.
'ultimately' indicates one should take the final letters.
'associated with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'glass?' becomes 'lens' (I've seen this before).
The last letter of 'metropolis' is 's'.
's'+'the'+'lens'='ST HELENS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for st helens that I've seen before include "Place for 33 [GLASSMAKING]" , "English town" , "Town in Merseyside" , "Rugby team" .)
