He has a holiday, all the same (6)
I believe the answer is:
busman
'he has a holiday all the same' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'he' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'he' could be 'man' and 'man' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'bus' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
