Thanks to all who entered this week’s Clueless challenge.

Lots of imaginative references including Amej’s Brisbane Gabba, PR’s Cole’s Law, Swarb’s off-cuts, SS’s brassic, Geeker’s Russian bishop (even if it was pushing the boundaries of what might be considered GK), Rekals’s hidden and the various references to Babbage, ABBA and rhyme schemes.

My shortlist consisted of Darla@20, Swarb@23, Aristo@30, Geeker@34, Swarb@39, Paul@27 and Motley@29. All sound clues.

We generally have a lot of anagram and construction style clues as winners so I’ve decided to go with a cryptic one this week. The winner is Motley with …

Money that grows, but not on trees (7)

Congratulations Motley, here are your prizes (you need to watch each to the end for the cabbage references)…
