'lorry driver?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'one in leeds travelling' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'travelling' indicates an anagram.
'leeds' is an anagram of 'desel'.
'i' put into 'desel' is 'DIESEL'.

'about' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
