I don't think the first version of it worked at all, but I think the version reading "German time follows ageist phenomenon" is supposed to work as follows:

* German time = "zeit"
* follows ageist = a string of letters reading "geist" then follows
* all of which gives us a word which, in admittedly a very loose sense, can mean "phenomenon"

I'm honestly not casting aspersions on Guy's clue, but can someone lead me through it?

Depsite being the solver, I don't fully follow it myself, and I don't think it actually wholly works. The solution is an anagram of "creed for gents (in porno...)", although I don't see an anagram indicator there. It's also the name of a film, hence the last word.

I have no idea where "Where Westminster Cathedral prominently featured" comes into it, although it may be another reference to the film (I haven't seen it).

Yes, the cathedral is an important location in the film.

Ah, OK. Yeah, I can't see an anagram indicator either (though I shouldn't talk, because my "away" upthread was a pretty vague one).
