Situation vacant - no stamp needed (4-4)
I believe the answer is:
post-free
'needed' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'situation vacant no stamp' is the wordplay.
'situation' becomes 'post' (both can mean a job or position).
'vacant no stamp' becomes 'free' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'post'+'free'='POST-FREE'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
