Nice worker in motorway eatery? (9)
I believe the answer is:
midinette
'nice worker' is the definition.
'midinette' can be an answer for 'worker' (midinette is a kind of worker). I am not sure about the 'nice' bit.
'motorway eatery?' is the wordplay.
'motorway' becomes 'mi' (resembles Md, English motorway).
'eatery?' becomes 'dinette' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'mi'+'dinette'='MIDINETTE'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for midinette that I've seen before include "Paris shop assistant" , "Parisian salesgirl" , "Parisian shop-girl" , "Foreign worker" , "French worker" .)
