Blond Tory woke up those with friends in high places? (3,3,7)
I believe the answer is:
old boy network
'those with friends in high places?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'blond tory woke up' is the wordplay.
'up' indicates anagramming the letters (letters get chucked up).
'blond'+'tory'+'woke'='blondtorywoke'
'blondtorywoke' anagrammed gives 'OLD BOY NETWORK'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for old boy network that I've seen before include "Form of nepotism" , "System of mutual assistance" , "Group that does each other favours -- not rowdy bloke (anag)" , "Mutual aid system of former colleagues" , "Social support system" .)
