I'm old-fashioned; no getting away from it (7)
I believe the answer is:
impasse
'no getting away from it' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'i'm old-fashioned' is the wordplay.
'old-fashioned' becomes 'passe' (synonyms).
'im'+'passe'='IMPASSE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for impasse that I've seen before include "deadlock results" , "'Deadlock, stalemate (7)'" , "Stalemate situation" , "failure to progress" , "Maybe gridlock" .)
