... who blocks the toilet (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

throne

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'toilet' is the definition.
(I know that toilet can be written as throne)

'who blocks the' is the wordplay.
'who' becomes 'ron' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'blocks' means one lot of letters goes inside another (the inside letters form a 'blockage').
'ron' inserted into 'the' is 'THRONE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for throne that I've seen before include "Royal chair" , "heads" , "Ceremonial chair for bishop or king" , "Royalty sits on it" , "Regal seat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
