The least little job makes the workers sour (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
hands turn
'the least little job makes' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'workers sour' is the wordplay.
'workers' becomes 'hands' (hand is a kind of worker).
'sour' becomes 'turn' (synonyms).
'hands'+'turn'='HANDS TURN'
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for hands turn that I've seen is " bit of effort".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
