The value of staff generating a bit of capital (10)
I believe the answer is:
wandsworth
'the value' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'staff generating a bit of capital' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'staff' could be 'wand' (wand is a kind of staff) and 'wand' is found within the answer.
'bit' could be 'ort' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'ort' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
