Welcome to our weekly competition to compose a cryptic clue, to be
judged by your fellow contestants.

You may enter as many clues as you like and everyone is welcome. Feel free to explain your clue if you think it will help or to ask another
poster to explain theirs.

Entrants should vote for their favourite clue - please include the
post number and refrain from commenting on entries until
voting has finished. The entry with the most votes wins and its
composer sets next week's competition.

Your clue should be posted by 11. 00am on Friday 22 February when
voting opens. Voting closes at 6pm that day.
The setter has the deciding vote in the event of a tie and may tweak the rules if necessary.
The setter will declare the winner and award an online prize.
