City getting twice as big nearly overspent? (6)
I believe the answer is:
dublin
'city' is the definition.
(Dublin is an example)
'twice as big nearly overspent?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'as' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'getting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dublin that I've seen before include "Capital of Ireland" , "Capital of 8" , "European city" , "Capital of Eire" , "City on the Liffey" .)
