Time man to leave hopeless old magazine (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
the strand
'hopeless old magazine' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'time man to leave' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'man' becomes 'he' (he refers to a man).
'to leave' becomes 'strand' ().
't'+'he'+'strand'='THE STRAND'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for the strand that I've seen is " London street (familiar to many here)".)
