Knowledge worker

[Svejk]

or broker, possibly

[dannyk13]

Worker is correct

[Svejk]

alright,lol.

[Chris38]

Many thanks, dannyk13 - never heard of that expression but I suppose it`s real enough.

[Chris38]

Thanks also to svejk - I think I prefer "broker" but ,like you, I`m not going to argue with dannyk13. I wouldn`t be surprised if both answers turned out to be acceptable when the solution is published next week.

[dannyk13]

Broker will not fit in with across clues.

[Chris38]

Ooops, just noticed that "broker" does not fit - duh! So "worker" it is! Still does not strike me as a familiar expression.

[Britlion]

I've come across similar clues where Knowledge Looker and Knowledge Hooker have been used.

[hughtwalker]

Sadly from the other clues LOOKER, WORKER AND "HOOKER" [sic] are equally possible and, in my opinion, equally incongruous. Ah well, another week without prospect of winning that FOUNTAIN PEN (O me misreum)

[dannyk13]

Worker submitted and accepted so go for your pen Hughtwalker
