Switching sides in main event between England and France? (7-7)
I believe the answer is:
channel-surfing
'switching' is the definition.
(channel-surfing is a kind of switching)
'sides in main event between england and france?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
'event' could be 'surf' (surf is a kind of event) and 'surf' is found within the answer.
'england' could be 'e' (short for England) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for channel-surfing that I've seen is " a remote activity".)
