Ring up worried customer a little overdrawn about cash supply - the problem ?
The answer is " purchasing power " but why - I see the anagram of ring up and an anagram of cash and supply could I guess be power but where do customer and a little overdrawn come in - thanks gang !

ower= someone who is overdrawn?
'Supply' is the anagram indicator for cash.
I thought - anag 'ring up' + 'p(enny) ower' (customer a little overdrawn) (all about) anag (supply; elastic, eg) 'cash'
anagram of ringcashup- is worried the anagram indicator
f-f - "worried" is the anag indicator for "ring up", yes
Yes 'worried' is the anagram indicator for 'ring up'
I can see the supply/supply pun now (sounds like supple-ly) but have never noticed used asaan anagram indicator before. one to look out for in future. Sorrty about typos- I can't go back to corret typos)
Thanks. I will log off for a bit- posts are taking ages to submit and AB won't let me correct typos as a I type- I can only move cursor forwards not back
Question Author
Thanks gang but not too impressed - as above never seen supply as an anagram indicator before !
I've seen it a couple of times, here in the Sunday Times 4704, eg -

They do supply cash one always splits (9)

Achievers (they do) - 'i (one) ever' (splits) anag (supply) 'cash'
supply as an adjective of supple works as an anagram indicator for me
