Narrow escape in visit to cathedral personnel? (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
close call
'narrow escape' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'visit to cathedral personnel?' is the wordplay.
'visit' becomes 'call' (synonyms).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'cathedral personnel?' becomes 'close' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'call' put after 'close' is 'CLOSE CALL'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for close call that I've seen before include "Narrow escape" , "Lucky escape" , "A near thing" , "hang up" , "Narrow decision" .)
