Cryptic crosswords and occasionally other assorted wordplay fun, every Monday evening (GMT).
Good morning! We have no idea how to get BLIGHT from 1 down. We get Plague is the definition and B for British and then...???
Morning! This clue is using "Britain" for BLIGHTY, which is perhaps better known over here 😄 (it was originally military slang from the First World War).
Thanks for clarifying. We have A LOT of new slang to learn. :)
And now remembering the Smiths, "Take me back to dear old Blighty"
