Lets keep it a bit more local :)

Current forecast - cold, dire and windy. No floods in Devon initially, so keep tucked up (12)

Another week of outstanding entries! I never thought it would be so difficult to pick a winner.
Plenty of very clever anagrams in their various forms, but I prefer "plays on words", (hope that makes sense) and homophones.
MENTIONED IN DISPATCHES: djawhufc @ 3
the rogue @ 10
busby @ 35

The winner is JWS @ 15,
Stir porridge in strange ways (12)
Two slang words for prison plus the name of a prison! (Yes, I know it's officially HMP Manchester)
Congratulations JWS.
Your prize, a modern uptake (is that a word?) on Monty Python's Whicker island.

Well done jws, so much better than mine as soon as I saw it I wished I had thought of it. Had it been peer review it would have had my vote.
Thanks to Bernie for hosting.

Many thanks Bernie. Nice word to clue.

I’m a fan of Harry and Paul but I hadn’t seen the Clarkson sketch – priceless!
