Tedious nonsense making trouble for Pinewood? (3-3)
I believe the answer is:
dry-rot
'trouble for pinewood?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'tedious nonsense' is the wordplay.
'tedious' becomes 'dry' (I've seen this in other clues).
'nonsense' becomes 'rot' (rot can mean nonsense or rubbish).
'dry'+'rot'='DRY-ROT'
'making' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for dry-rot that I've seen is " Decay of timber".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
