Old European, small old man turning up with ladies? (8)
I believe the answer is:
yugoslav
'old european' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'turning up with ladies?' is the wordplay.
'turning up' becomes 'yugos' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'ladies?' becomes 'lav' (the ladies' lavatory).
'yugos'+'lav'='YUGOSLAV'
'small old man' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yugoslav that I've seen before include "National of former Balkan republic" , "Split with this person? Perhaps" , "from Croatia?" , "former statesman" , "old Republican" .)
