A “bomb” is the definition. A senior relative backwards containing an example of an isle and a valley

In case that was little more than a restatement of the clue, the relative is four letters and the isle is an actual place

Bump. Senior relative may be gran, aunt, actual islan may be elba , bali, ait, key, ezo, cay. But still unable to get the answer

It’s one of the relatives you name. Specifically you want an “isle”, not an “island”. Maybe easier for a UK-based solver. And the answer is an idiom for “costing a bomb”

I got the answer "an arm and a leg", A, GRAN returning holding man (island) and dale (valley). Phew. Could never have dreamt of the answer without your help. Thanks Quisling for your neat parsing.

Glad you got there, and maybe easier for a UK solver. Interesting phrase, with various attributed origins. Take your pick!

Plus another.

It comes from insurance - the payout on a dead man is far less than on one who has lost an arm or a leg.

(Not withstanding the GIs who 'bought the farm')

Please help me in parsing / solving this cryptic clue -
"Objects in a row tipping completely (3,4,2)"
Looks completely is the definition. There are many idioms like, all ends up, all over it, But unable to parse any.

all ends up could work with PULL being reversed for row

Thanks candledave for helping me with the parsing.
