VIP at the funfair (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
big wheel
'vip' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for big wheel that I've seen before include "going round in London" , "Important person - fair attraction" , "Amusement as London Eye" , "Fair experience" , "Fairground attraction - important person" .)
