Rampant ill health's so sad at this great age (2,3,2,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
as old as the hills
'this great age' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'rampant ill health's so sad' is the wordplay.
'rampant' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'ill'+'healths'+'so'+'sad'='illhealthssosad'
'illhealthssosad' with letters rearranged gives 'AS OLD AS THE HILLS'.
'at' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
