Slow to see accident as British capital drawn into fight (10)
I believe the answer is:
rubberneck
'slow to see accident' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'british capital drawn into fight' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'british' could be 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC') and 'b' is present in the answer.
'capital' could be 'berne' (Berne is an example) and 'berne' is found within the answer.
'fight' could be 'ruck' (I've seen this before) and 'ruck' is found in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rubberneck that I've seen before include "Turn one's head to stare foolishly" , "attribute useful to contortionist" , "Slow to see accident" , "Gawper" .)
