19d Ends in tremendous crash: nobody excelled (5) ??ONE looks like no-one?
There is an extra letter in the word play or an extra word in the clue

26d , 27d , 28d have the answers from the definitions but can't see the wordplay / extras?

Shone - Excelled

End letters of 'tremendous and crash' + one

Thanks Mamya ... where does the "one" come from ...and what is extra?

Excuse me butting in... the One comes from None, nobody, and the extra is the N(one).

For 28 D. the extra letter, inserted in your answer (defined by plain) give a Scottish word for marshland.

PS. I usually include the clues if they're not given, but I'm in a rush!

Thanks malone

6a Writing that is about Left in China, perhaps (7) ?E?TI?E

correct letter may be "O"

4d One softened principles (5) CRE??

"one" is possibly extra word here

16d I tucked into colourful Scottish onion (?E?D)

6. Yes, the correct letter is an O. The writing is 4,(it could be lengthy in a book or short on a mobile phone), add the usual two-letter abbreviation for 'that is', with the usual abbreviation for Left inside.
4. Yes, one is superfluous - the answer's just a double definition.

For 16 D, the onion isn't a vegetable.

I have 19 across and know whatt adjustment needs to be made but am struggling with two four letter words - and calling myself several more because of that. 24 across - See side of field you are to sell - vend, but why - and 28 down - Fifteenth group in competition sport ( redundant letter - o ) - Polo but why. Any pointers would be appreciated.
