Cryptic Stuff

[not_for_sale]

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.

Yes twyngwyn, cricket.

I think it's pretty self-explanatory.

Thanks for the link in the Streets thread twyngwyn.

I've tried the Bulla, but it's chocolate ice-cream and too sweet for me. I should have mentioned that I was referring to vanilla chocolate chip ice-cream. I don't know of any company that makes it these days. A local home delivery service did, but they stopped when Covid struck.
