Place in Europe British bunglers oddly forfeited (6)

I believe the answer is:

bruges

'place in europe' is the definition.
(city in Belgium)

'british bunglers oddly forfeited' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'br'.
'oddly forfeited' means one should take alternating letters (letters in odd-numbered positions removed).
The alternate letters of 'bunglers' are 'uges'.
'br'+'uges'='BRUGES'

(Other definitions for bruges that I've seen before include "Historic city in Belgium" , "Belgian place" , "Historic Belgian city" , "Belgian port" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
