Happy Christmas to everyone
These have been bugging my wine sozzled brain for hours
49A WI must expand part in Jerusalem, say, collectively 4,3,5
I have W--- --E -O-C-
8D After a shake-up, introduce a big old card game 7,6
A---I-- BRIDGE?
Well unless you are a member of the WI I guess that one is totally lost on most folk. Shockingly poor clue even by David McLean's abysmally low standards.
No I'm sure your are absolutely correct and I thank you for putting me out of my misery - Google confirms the association. I even chose it as a hymn for my wedding many decades ago but hadn't a clue of the WI link!
P.S. It was a close run thing between Jerusalem and Fight the Good Fight when I had to come up with my chosen hymns. With hindsight the latter choice might have been more fitting .. ;¬)
