Stupid/obvious crossword clues?

Although in my limited experience, British crosswords tend to be looser (for lack of a better word) than American Cryptics. For example, the clue given by Senegoid in Post #33 wouldn’t be kosher in an American Cryptic Crossword, which requires each clue to consist of two parts (one a relatively straightforward clue and the other typically based on wordplay).

I don’t think that clue would fly in the major UK broadsheet crosswords. Definitely not in the (London) Times. Maybe in the Guardian, some of their puzzles are “loose”.
British cryptics do include a style of clue that is not seen in US cryptics, in which there’s no wordplay, just a definition with a misleading surface reading. Such as
