This chap a rock, might we presume? (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
diamond geezer
'a rock might we presume?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'this chap' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'chap' could be 'geezer' (both can mean a man) and 'geezer' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'diamond' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
