Going well to love the consorting squad (4,11)
I believe the answer is:
like gangbusters
'going well to love' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'the consorting squad' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
'squad' could be 'gang' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'gang' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
