Clue Chain 7

[Hazlinny]

Starting Clue Chain 7 - all welcome 😊

The idea of the game is that the setter poses an original home-made clue which everybody is invited to solve.  The poster who solves the clue first (hopefully identified by the setter) is then invited to post their own original clue, easy or cryptic.  If nobody has answered the clue within 30 minutes, the setter should post a further hint and so on until the clue is solved.

Clue:  Old federal prison where Carlos might have added an extra cuppa.  (8)

Well done hazlinny (I find it's really annoying when that happens, makes me feel short-changed 😁)

Modeste:  For the second time this week you have showed us how clever you are in solving a clue on the Chain - you have, however, not followed up with a clue of your own.  Please read the rules ... either post a clue or state that you cannot do so, for whatever reason, so that the game may continue and another player will take over.  It was fairly obvious that you had the correct answer today so you just needed to set a clue without waiting for confirmation.   Thanks.

Clue: It's allowed for each type of hand covering to approach Mr.
Sheeran.   (9)
