Journalist's showing in British daily when people retire (8)
I believe the answer is:
bedtimes
'when people retire' is the definition.
(retire can mean to go to bed)
'journalist's showing in british daily' is the wordplay.
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'showing in' indicates putting letters inside.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'daily' becomes 'times' (daily UK newspaper).
'b'+'times'='btimes'
'ed' placed into 'btimes' is 'BEDTIMES'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
