Similar times? That's handy (6)
I believe the answer is:
nearby
'handy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'similar times?' is the wordplay.
'similar' becomes 'near'.
'times?' becomes 'by' (I've seen this in other clues).
'near'+'by'='NEARBY'
'that's' is the link.
(Other definitions for nearby that I've seen before include "in the neighbourhood" , "Locally" , "A short distance away" , "Close at hand, not far away" , "Adjacent" .)
