All others in post office can be very quick (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

presto

'very quick' is the definition.

'all others in post office' is the wordplay.
'all others' becomes 'rest' (as in the rest of a group).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'post office' becomes 'po'.
'rest' placed inside 'po' is 'PRESTO'.

'can be' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for presto that I've seen before include "fast to the maximum" , "quick to score" , "Poster (anag.)" , "In quick tempo (mus.)" , "quickly in bars" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
