Times Jumbo Cryptic

Wow! This was a tough one. I wasn't able to start until Monday as we entertained SWMBO's relative all weekend. Trip to Kew Gardens took up most of Sumday. ( Great place but very expensive imho)
But I have really struggland, to be honest, I would never have got the Sunday meeting one if i hadn't found the answer here. Not sure what it means anyway. Does ANYBODY use the saying?

I did read on another site that someone had heard it whilst growing up, but it was new to me Steven.

Thank you , Mamyalynne. But what does it mean? When would someone use it? Other than in a crossword!

What was the saying?

Thanks Lynne, way back when people used to say Sunday Best Clothes but that is definitely new to me.

SWMBO says that when she was little lots of people wore their " best" clothes to church. And I saw Lie-in King's parsing. That's what I meant when I said that I was able to finishe the puzzle when I saw the answer. But I still don't get the reference to a meeting. Sorry to be thick.

Go to Church/Mass/Meeting House/Sunday School etc.

[stevenj]

Oh! That's my sheltered life! It's always Mass or Church here. But of course quakers( and others I expect) have meetings don't they?
Thanks, as always, for your patience with me.

No problem.
