Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue setting competition.

The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word or phrase.

The winner of the previous week's competition both sets the word to be clued and judges the entries for the current week.

The judge's decision is final and reasons may or may not be given at the judge's discretion. It is customary for the judge to award a virtual prize to the winner.

Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome.

Clues should be submitted by 5.00pm BST on Wednesday 1st June, with the winner being announced shortly after. (An hour earlier than usual, as I'm out soon after.)

The challenge for Clueless 269 is ...

PUBLIC CONVENIENCE (6,11)

Good luck.

[Not an entry, but I did see a sign on a loo last year that said:

TOILETS CLOSED. WE APOLOGISE FOR THE INCONVENINCE.

Also there's a roadside food hut near us that has a sign:

FOOD IN LAYBY 400 YARDS
SIT IN OR TAKE AWAY TOILET]

Hilarious (x2), and we've barely (oops) started!

Needing a wee involved operating cubicle with one new pence (6,11)

Slight tweak, sorry

Needing a wee means operating cubicle with one new pence (6,11)

@ginge - please parse ... I'm partly there but need a little help, thanks.

Be civic! Pennon clue indicates this facility (6,11)

This one is NSFW!

Accidentally convene pube clinic after going here? (6,11)

Gross apologies stevea, I was racing my battery dying again and hadn't noticed the auto correction. It should be;

Needing a wee means operating cubicle via one new pence (6,11)

Picnic venue clone is dispersed around back entrance of municipal building (6,11)
