What interrupts a blighter in the pub? (8)
I believe the answer is:
alehouse
'the pub?' is the definition.
(alehouse is a kind of pub)
'what interrupts a blighter' is the wordplay.
'what' becomes 'eh' (sound used to ask 'what?' or 'pardon?').
'interrupts' indicates putting letters inside.
'blighter' becomes 'louse' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'a'+'louse'='alouse'
'eh' put inside 'alouse' is 'ALEHOUSE'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alehouse that I've seen before include "Old pub" , "drinks here?" , "Inn" , "old tavern" , "the nineteenth?" .)
