Old carpenter's record breaking banter? (6)
I believe the answer is:
joseph
'old carpenter's record breaking banter?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'record breaking banter?' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'EP' (abbreviation for extended play record).
'breaking' is an insertion indicator.
'banter?' becomes 'josh' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ep' going within 'josh' is 'JOSEPH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for joseph that I've seen before include "- Conrad, novelist (Lord Jim)" , "Jesuss earthly father" , "- Conrad (Nostromo)" , "Biblical dreamcoat wearer" , "chap" .)
