Old people like me, boy! (5)
I believe the answer is:
medes
'old people' is the definition.
(people of the Median Empire)
'me boy' is the wordplay.
'boy' becomes 'des' (short for Desmond).
'me'+'des'='MEDES'
'like' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
