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 08:00 pm GMT on Wednesday, 1st of November, with the winner to be announced shortly after.

The answer to be clued is:

UNSTABLE (8)

Have fun, and please parse your clue unless it is blindingly obvious.

Rocky beds - town loses head (8)

(Cheating a bit - it should be Beds. town - Bedfordshire)

(Just remembered that you're from the other end of the planet, mattrom. I'd better say that the "Beds. town" is DUNSTABLE. John Dunstable was the most famous composer of his age
