Time to chop wood - bay (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
the wash
'bay' is the definition.
(East Anglian bay)
'time to chop wood' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't'.
'to chop' becomes 'hew' (I've seen this in other clues).
'wood' becomes 'ash' (I've seen this before).
't'+'hew'+'ash'='THE WASH'
(Another definition for the wash that I've seen is " bay".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
