Announcement of resignation disrupted late shift (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
thats life
'announcement of resignation' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'disrupted late shift' is the wordplay.
'disrupted' indicates anagramming the letters.
'late'+'shift'='lateshift'
'lateshift' with letters rearranged gives 'THATS LIFE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for thats life that I've seen is " Expression of the fatalist".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
