He's on the way to work (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
road mender
'he's on the way to work' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'he's on the way to work' is the wordplay.
'he' becomes 'Der'.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the way to work' becomes 'roadmen' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'der' put after 'roadmen' is 'ROAD-MENDER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
