Difficult situation in Stoke Poges churchyard, reportedly? (4,4)
'difficult' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grey that I've seen before include "9 colour" , "Neutral tone lacking colour" , "Nondescript; overcast (sky)" , "Black-white tone" , "Tom Pearce's horse" .)
'difficult situation' is the definition.
'grey area' can be an answer for 'situation' (I have seen 'Unclear situation ' mean 'grey area' so perhaps 'situation' could also mean 'grey area'). I'm not certain of the 'difficult' bit.
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
(Other definitions for grey area that I've seen before include "concrete jungle?" , "Woolly matter" , "subject to debate?" , "hazy sphere" , "Ill-defined region" .)
