On a grotty street feeling poorly (2,1,3,3)
I believe the answer is:
in a bad way
'poorly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'on a grotty street feeling' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
'street' could be 'way' (I've seen this before) and 'way' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for in a bad way that I've seen before include "Critical" , "Seedy" , "Seriously ill" , "Very poorly" , "Suffering" .)
