Not skating in workplace (6)
I believe the answer is:
office
'workplace' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'not skating' is the wordplay.
'not' becomes 'off' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'skating' becomes 'ice skating' (ice skating is a kind of skating).
'off'+'ice'='OFFICE'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for office that I've seen before include "Where many of us work" , "Workplace for clerks" , "Firm" , "Business room - position of responsibility or duty" , "Workroom" .)
