Heh, so....Dave and I love to do cryptic crosswords.

One of the clues was this and we laughed SO hard when we got the answer!!!!

I thought you lot might appreciate it and maybe have a bit of fun guessing!

The clue is this:

Parrot not soaked with healthy oil? 15 letters.....

It's probably our easily amused sense of humour but we loved it!


Can't wait to read your guesses!!

I'm useless at normal crosswords let alone cryptic ones but I'm curious to the answer

hahaha! Bless Sharon! We only got it because we'd filled in some other clues! They aren't called "cryptic" for no reason....talk about bending your brain!
