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. ๐Ÿ™‚

 

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

Re: Cryptic Stuff

Yes, albumen it is.

 

White is bubbly in the testing room agenda (7)

 

WORDPLAY

bubbly <- anagrind

testing room [charade: lab]
agenda [charade: menu]
   lab+menu is an anagram of albumen

WHOLE DEF

white = albumen

 

The misdirection was deliciously satisfying to me.

 

Over to you, twyngwyn.
