Turn a blind eye when an employee wants to leave? (4,2,6)
I believe the answer is:
take no notice
'turn a blind eye' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'when an employee wants to leave?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'when' could be 'on' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'on' is found within the answer.
'an' could be 'i' (Roman numeral for one) and 'i' is found in the answer.
'leave?' could be 'take' (taking leave is a kind of leaving) and 'take' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for take no notice that I've seen before include "Ignore" , "turn a blind eye" , "Fail to attend" , "refuse to be sacked?" .)
