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.

This is what I was thinking….
show = indicate
blind = no eyes (ii)
pour = decant

I had it worked out differently… I thought you meant Ant and Dec - anagram to decant - with “blind show” referring to The Voice… or thereby to any of those talent shows incl Britain’s Got Talent - which is hosted by … Ant and Dec.
