To bring the unsolved clue on to this page:

Clare is a village in Suffolk.

I have no idea, will muse on it some more..
Something just popped into me head tho, clare da loon, forgive me I can't recall how to spell it correctly so just phonetically wrote it, it was either something I read inna book or music....
This is probably irrelevant to the clue...
I just can't resist showing my lack solving cryptic clueness as evidenced by adieu...*chuckles*
Must be fun watching lesser minds stretch...

Clare - that's more than cryptic, it's downright obtuse!
John Clare (phsychiatrist's chair)?
As a name it means 'bright' - anything to do with flowers?

Just to refresh, it's actually
Clare? (7,4)
And the third letter has been given as L. Shout if you want more letters.

It's definitely 4. The original post was a typo. My bad.

I reckon that maybe it has something to do with an anagram of clare, such as 'clear' and something to do with Ireland...
I'm struggling, am I on the right track Freddy? Can I 'ave anuffer lettah pluh-eeeeese

Anyone got today's paper? Having trouble with a clue?
Cryptic Clues
Researcher 556780 Posted Jan 30, 2004
I guess I should be grateful that wand'rin star mark, got the answer quickly otherwise I'd have been tying myself in knots with 'clear' anagrams and Ireland holiday brochures online.... 
*chuckles*
Fanks Mark!

Those backwards clues are always sods.
Well done Lucky Star for getting "adieu".
Dredging up old clue:
Q: Tries out wrong-doing first; that's inauspicious
A: sinister
Yvonne was slightly wrong on this. It's "ister" (anagram of tries) preceded by ("first") sin.
Key: Complain about this post
