Stand it, working far away? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

distant

'far away?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'stand it working' is the wordplay.
'working' is an anagram indicator.
'stand'+'it'='standit'
'standit' with letters rearranged gives 'DISTANT'.

(Other definitions for distant that I've seen before include "Unfriendly; far off" , "overseas?" , "Reserved - a long way off" , "cool" , "Far apart in space or time" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
