Haven't heard any "new" ones for years.
Think everybody will know the "lay of wife", "pransome hince" and the various permutations of "hyperdermic needle", but have you heard any good 'uns lately?

And I hate them with a vengeance as I loathe Spoonerisms.

Which cryptics do you do ? I'm a Telegraph or FT man here.

Yes when recounting a trip out to the local Nymans gardens to my daughter I referred to the Trashional Nust! Much better name thought I.

West Bank is quite topical at the moment

There are the two lady friends Betty Swallocks and Mary Hinge.... (Mods feel free to excise this post if it offends against the rules)

And one I hoped would catch on but didn't: 'smuckin fart'
