My pet hate - a clue involving Spooner.

15 A. Leaves producer (as Spooner's advised) deposit here (7) ??r?i??

Thanks for any help.

Could it be "moraine"?

A romaine is a lettuce.
That would give Moraine as the Spoonerism?

Thanks, rusty - I felt it was a bit iffy until you added the 'romaine' bit!

Glad to help, Malone.
I shall reward myself with a chocolate biscuit!
I can't be doing with Spooner, either!

... I should have really said 'I couldn't parse it all' rather than 'it was a bit iffy'! Thanks again.

(another non-fan of Spooner clues)

At 39A, are we talking about periodic table?
