Making delayed start on buying drinks, too disheartened (7,6,2)
I believe the answer is:
getting around to
'making delayed start on' is the definition.
(as in finally getting around to doing something)
'buying drinks too disheartened' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'drinks' could be 'round' (I've seen this before) and 'round' 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 Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
