Geordie gets a break, being the most close (7)
I believe the answer is:
nearest
'the most close' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'geordie gets a break' is the wordplay.
'geordie' becomes 'ne' (I've seen this in other clues).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'break' becomes 'rest' (resting is a kind of breaking).
'ne'+'a'+'rest'='NEAREST'
'being' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for nearest that I've seen before include "Closest, being earnest" , "Most closely related" , "most like Scrooge at first" , "Relations" , "Close family members" .)
