PEER REVIEW 553

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 wish and everyone is welcome. Feel free to explain your clue, if you think it will help, or to ask another entrant to explain theirs. As a courtesy to others, please do not otherwise comment on entries until voting has opened.

Clues should be posted by 12.00 noon (UK time) on Friday, August 12th, when voting opens. Entrants should vote for their favourite clue and include the name and post number. Voting closes at 8.00 pm (UK time) on the same day.

The entry with the most votes wins and its composer sets next week's competition. 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.
