* playing Blue Club canapé

East-West were playing canapé opening bids, Blue Club style, so when they reached 6spade it was obvious to East that they were playing in a good contract from the wrong hand. East also could see that the likely sequence at the Acol tables would place West as declarer in a spade contract. How would you have played 6spade on South's lead of diamond8?
