Pair carrying old item of furniture easy to get to the skip? (8)
I believe the answer is:
portable
'easy to get to the skip?' is the definition.
(portable means easy to carry)
'pair carrying old item of furniture' is the wordplay.
'pair' becomes 'pr' (abbreviation).
'carrying' is an insertion indicator.
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'item of furniture' becomes 'table' (table is a type of furniture item).
'pr' going around 'o' is 'por'.
'por'+'table'='PORTABLE'
(Other definitions for portable that I've seen before include "Maybe laptop" , "Designed to be easily carried" , "desirable type of pension" , "radio" , "easy to bear?" .)
