Actresses going ahead with convenience (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
leading ladies
'actresses' is the definition.
(leading lady is a kind of actress)
'going ahead with convenience' is the wordplay.
'going ahead' becomes 'leading' ('lead' can be a synonym of 'go'. I am not sure about the 'ahead' bit.).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'convenience' becomes 'ladies' (I've seen this before).
'leading'+'ladies'='LEADING LADIES'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
