More than one outdoor market carries beers hiding short volume (3-4,5)
I believe the answer is:
car-boot sales
'carries beers hiding short volume' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'more than one outdoor market' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'a' (a thing is one thing) and 'a' is found within the answer.
'market' could be 'bootsale' (I have seen 'Cheap market' mean 'boot sale' so perhaps 'market' could also mean 'boot sale') and 'bootsale' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
