Plug job, engaging new main writer for Leicester Chronicle? (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
adrian mole
'writer for leicester chronicle?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'plug job engaging new main' is the wordplay.
'plug' becomes 'ad' (as in plugging a product).
'job' becomes 'role' (a job is a role or position).
'engaging' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are engaged or involved in others).
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'main' is an anagram of 'ianm'.
'role' enclosing 'ianm' is 'rianmole'.
'ad'+'rianmole'='ADRIAN MOLE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adrian mole that I've seen before include "Fictional teenage diary-keeper" , "diarist" , "Young journalist" .)
