I have 12 across now. Thanks,
Ginge!
But i now have one letter left: 29 down; I have OON_E. It looks like POODLE but I am certain that AUNE is right for 36A Old Measure of length, a French one (4).
I have looked at dogs in Bradford's but nothing seems to fit.
I am not sending this in for a prize; I am just annoyed that I have one single cell left!
