Help please!
Struggling with 28a:
'Younger boring miss confused by old Middle East idiom' (6)
S?R?SM (SARISM/SURISM ??!!)

Many thanks.

I would say

SURISM

MISS + UR (ancient middle eastern kingdom)

Thanks Mamya, that sounds logical,
'surism' new to me.

Beth

Hi Beth.

I put the answer as SYRISM = a Syrian idiom (anagram of 'yr'/younger and 'miss'; more usual spelling is SYRIASM).

Good luck with the prize this week!

Hi Beth & Mamya,
I think the answer to this is SYRISM YR=younger inside MISS confused SYRISM a Syriac idiom.
Hope you agree,

Hi Jerry.

I think the bid was "No Trumps"!

I was in two minds ... keep quiet and hope to have one less competitor for the prize or spill the beans. The beans won.

I hope that Beth sees our replies now!
