Looks like REIGN (regulation minus a lout). Is there a homophone theme?

The thing is there is no homophone indicator in the clue (or not one I can find).

What about regulation = reign as the definition. Drops being the deletion indicator for " a lout". This gets rid of the need for a homophone indicator. Just a thought.

what about just accepting that the clue is rubbish. after all the mail has far fewer crap clues/typos than most. certainly less than the guardian.

andyc, trevor is usually a good judge of character. but probably a bit hasty on this one. weasely yes, stoat like perhaps, but not a slob.
