One bloody clue threw the whole thing out. It was "Lies at the bottom of the budgie's cage" (4) Apparently the answer was "grit". So near, yet so far

Ever since he heard Arthur Askey tell it in 1955 I expect. Oi! I wasn't born until 1958However, I can remember when I first heard it. It was 1977, I was working Saturdays in a bookies in Stretford, Manchester and the manager was doing the crossword before we opened. He piped up that clue and I answered "grit", to which he replied, "so near, so far, pass us a rubber"Why that particular memory of 34 years ago stays with me, I've no idea Now, where did I put me glasses down five minutes ago?
