This page surely hadn't failing! (6,9)
I believe the answer is:
sunday telegraph
'this' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'page surely hadn't failing' is the wordplay.
'failing' indicates anagramming the letters (a failed spelling of the word).
'page'+'surely'+'hadnt'='pagesurelyhadnt'
'pagesurelyhadnt' with letters rearranged gives 'SUNDAY TELEGRAPH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
