Switchboard worker (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

operator

'switchboard worker' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for operator that I've seen before include "Poor rate for a businessman" , "Controller, of telephone say" , "Person running a business" , "One working a machine" , "Agent that runs some apparatus or machine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Times.
