What's the clue, please?

Hi boxy - the clue was

"Excessive adherence to official rules and formalities" (3,4)

Cheers LiK, all well along the south coast this morning?

With apologies to anglital for the brief hijack...

Sunny & chilly outside & I'm fine inside! Not sure if I know where you are?..

Hope you're keeping well? :-)

(apols from me too, anglital..) I'm in Dover, LIK, somewhere to your left! much the same here today, nice and sunny.

thanks for 'red tape'. Italy is bright and cold, FWIW.
