Re: Cryptic Crossword Clues
Just noticed that Mel never confirmed if the last answer was correct or not. Anyway here is another one that just came to me:
'Can this snake stop on the road?'

Re: Cryptic Crossword Clues
Sorry, Mel. Must have had one of those senior moments. 
I think it was seagull's reply (???) immediately before I posted that threw me.
Sorry (again) the full clue should have been " 'Can this snake stop on the road?' (7) "

Here's a clue that's relevant to MyLowestoft.com and the answer's a short one.

Re: Cryptic Crossword Clues
Ravioli is right, boatbuilder. You've got me puzzled on this one, I'll give it some thought.
