Ace times in Arts Centre rocking in fashionable way? (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
carnaby street
'rocking in fashionable way?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'ace times in arts centre' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'ace' could be 'a' (abbreviation) and 'a' is located in the answer.
'times' could be 'by' (both can mean 'multiplied by') and 'by' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'arts' is 'astr' which is present in the left over letters.
an anagram of 'centre' is 'crneet' which is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
