Cryptic Stuff

While it was done some years ago I see, I thought I would try a cryptic crossword-like thread for fun and to try and boost a little more interest here. I made up the below question for anyone interested in such a challenge. I thought the first person to get it correct might come up with the next question. A clue though - if you copy one from a newspaper or magazine etc., the answer can often be found on the internet. I can explain the answer for anyone who asks. 🙂

 

The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water.

Re: Cryptic Stuff

You can usually tell when I’m certain of the answer. No tentative little question marks indicate hesitation…

 

I’ll post my clue a bit later – I’m just finalising some documentation.
