Can anyone help with this clue please. I have 2 answers and am not sure which fits best.

I'd go with logroller. A log is a record and a roller is a wave (as is a breaker).

70, I suspect there is a very short word missing from the clue.

I'm not sure the clue is missing anything, rusty - ''...about A...'' completes the wordplay, but is there something else?

There is no "a" in the above posted clue.

Thanks, rusty - I hadn't looked back at winnie's question (she's overlooked the 'a' in the printed clue).

I only brought it up because I thought the clues were pretty good for this quiz - and sometimes (especially in quizzes) they're not.
