18a End badly placed in back seats? They may like them (8) ?T?N???S I can see only STANDEES fit but makes no sense. Thanks for help

[Lie-in King]

Yes - Standees - anag 'end' (in) 'seats' (back)

[aelmpvw]

seats backwards + anagram of end

[dannyk13]

Standees - anagram of end inside seats reversed.
//a person who is standing rather than seated, especially in a passenger vehicle.//

[hopelessinit]

But why “ they may like them?

[dannyk13]

Maybe they would like to sit in the back seats rather than stand.

If you want to stand up you can only really do it if your on the back row.
I would call them standers.

[dannyk13]

Bob, not if you are standing on a bus.

Thanks —- a bit obscure though.

[dannyk13]

Not a very good clue.
