Old man's daily crosswords etc (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pastimes

'crosswords etc' is the definition.

'old man's daily' is the wordplay.
'old man's' becomes 'pa's' (both can mean father).
'daily' becomes 'times' (daily UK newspaper).
'pas'+'times'='PASTIMES'

(Other definitions for pastimes that I've seen before include "leisure activities" , "Hobbies or diversions" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
