THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

This is one of those tricky 'word' ones such as anagrams, change / add / remove a letter, etc.

I'd suspected it was but I'm really struggling with it. Hopefully someone else will "just see it".

Hmmm - do we change a letter to create garden tools?

Joe - becomes hoe
Work -becomes fork
Rose - becomes hose
Lake - becomes rake

Yes, that's it. Well solved.

I thought of hose and fork (at separate times) but never made the connection. I'm such a fuckwit.

Well done OFD and Plum.
