Object in festival for Cockney? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
east ender
'cockney?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'object in festival' is the wordplay.
'object' becomes 'end' (both can mean a goal or purpose).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'festival' becomes 'easter' (Christian festival).
'end' going within 'easter' is 'EAST-ENDER'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for east ender that I've seen before include "Citizen" , "Possibly Pearly King" , "Londoner" , "Someone born within the sound of Bow Bells?" , "Cockney" .)
