I believe the answer is:

lotus-eater

(Other definitions for lotus-eater that I've seen before include "One given to indulgence in pleasure and luxury" , "One living indolently - mythical person met by Odysseus in North Africa" , "Indolent person" , "One indulging in pleasure and luxury, as described in Homer's Odyssey" .)

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