PEER REVIEW 640

Welcome to our informal 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 poster to explain theirs. As a courtesy to others, please do not otherwise comment on entries until voting has finished.

Your clue should be posted by 12 noon (UK time) on Friday 12th April, when voting opens. Entrants should vote for their favourite clue and include the entrant’s name and post number. Voting closes at 7:00 pm. 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.
