yes

Question Author

Thanks. Why?

fiction-factory

Not sure of all the parsing though- I can see naff is s(a)le but wouldn't that need to be WITHOUT article?. Maybe I have the wrong end of the stick

Bozzer

Question Author

I can’t see the parsing

naff(tasteless) ? inside s(a)le ?

fiction-factory

Yes, I meant naff in s(a)le but don't see why we remove the 'a'

Snaffle (bit [horse]) - 'naff' replaces 'a' (article) in 'sale'

a snaffle is a bit

Bozzer

Question Author

Just realised a snaffle is a bit when it’s in a horse’s mouth. Thanks everyone

fiction-factory

Yes I was always happy with the definition. Does the 'promotion ' indicate it takes the place of the 'a'?

The article (a) is seen to be naff (tasteless)

aelmpvw

lik 13.55 has it

fiction-factory

Okay, got it thanks- although seems a little too contrived for my liking, lie-in king and others.

Neveracrossword

I thought it was a clever clue! I spent too long looking for 'a bit of retail promotion' rather than just 'a bit'.
