Shames unruly lads after second tinnie (8)
I believe the answer is:
scandals
'shames' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to natural events as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'unruly lads after second tinnie' is the wordplay.
'unruly' is an anagram indicator.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'second tinnie' becomes 'scan' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'lads' anagrammed gives 'dals'.
'dals' put after 'scan' is 'SCANDALS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scandals that I've seen before include "they're disgraceful" , "Disgraceful situations" , "Malicious gossip" , "Disgraceful actions, subjects of talk" , "Caught wearing shoes" .)
