They seem impenetrable at first but learn the "rules" and they're doable. Start with the Guardian quiptic.

Also, while you're learning, it's helpful to work backwards ie. Reveal the answer the work out why it's the answer.
And if you do start, look out for puzzles set in the Guardian by Paul. He's an Albion fan and very occasionally includes Albion-related clues

I always loved the Telegraph cryptic but had to stop because it was hard to ignore the right wing drivel in the main part of the paper! It was the one cryptic crossword though that I actually could make progress with!
I’m exactly the same in so much that The Guardian tends to offer first rate music and TV reviews.

I remember an episode of Drop The Dead Donkey with a running joke of someone getting mad over this one

GEGS (9,4)
I remember it well. It was Henry Davenport trying to work it out and when he gave up and someone told him the answer he started twitching.

I’m not that fussed about them, I prefer mine over easy.
