Clue Chain 10

[Canary42]

Starting Clue Chain 10 - all welcome 😊

The idea of the game is that the setter poses an original home-made clue which everybody is invited to solve.  The poster who solves the clue first (hopefully identified by the setter) is then invited to post their own original clue, easy or cryptic.  If nobody has answered the clue within 30 minutes, the setter should post a further hint and so on until the clue is solved.

The first clue is from Hazlinny as follows :-

 

Sounds a bother when I leave it shortly to head off to  fragments of concrete.  (7)
