I'm stuck on 85 across. Clue: Take this leave without permission - 6 letters - ?R??C?

Help appreciated!

Have a lovely peaceful Christmas one and all!

FRENCH (leave)

Oh! And Seasons Greetings to you too. Have a wonderful time.

Absolutely right! Thanks a mill Jolan - it simply wouldn't come.

Why do we say "french leave".
Apparently there is an old french custom of leaving a party without saying goodbye or thanking the hosts. Personally, I think it refers to the even older french custom of deserting from a military force.

Ah yes, Trevor! But they then thanked the hosts by means of a French Letter.

OOpps! Terry. It's the drink!-

Unlikely,Jolan. The french don't have much experience of such things. After all, what do the french call a pretty girl? A tourist.

Happy Chrstmas to all doing the annual Junbo simplex! Now to the Crosaire.....

Thanks for your help guys, we were stuck on this last one too!! Merry Christmas
