Old joke (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chestnut

'old joke' is the definition.
(as in an old chestnut)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for chestnut that I've seen before include "Dark golden-brown horse" , "Sweet -; horse -; water -" , "not a cracker!" , "funny old thing?" , "Stale joke or cliche" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
