Help please.

'Abbatoir'

toir as in 'riot' = rising public disorder.

bill in america = bb in aa perhaps? Not sure.
Don't understand and why abbatoir as an overall definition? Thanks.

What's the complete clue?

Sorry that should be 'abattoir'.

So I still have the 'toir' bit but that's about all!

Sorry, terying to keep things brief.

The complete clue:

"Rising public disorder bill in America a shambles."

abat - rising a tab (tab is bill in US)
abattoir has another defn meaning a shambles

Not in my Chambers it doesn't.

Thanks though Sudokulover!

It's in my Bradford's Crossword dictionary under shambles

Brilliant, thanks.

... and in MY Chambeers under 'shambles'

You're right Jolan. Shamble2. I didn't look it up that way round.

This is what happens when you look up the answer the next day instead of solving it at the time.
