22d is LONGA. Where are you trying to fit AN???G ?

sunray, I think you've misread Scarlett's post with the answering of 22 D. The N is definitely the third letter, Your letters for 30 A are fine.

Thanks orson.

I misunderstood the advice from others. I thought the advice was to add A to Longa, anagram of which is analog.

It took me a while to understand what to do with the extra words. But finally got it.
All seems to be OK. Except I have not found the extra word/s for 30d.

The grid is complete and the preamble gives away the final entry in the bottom row.

You're welcome, sunray.

The missing word for 30d is "brand" from 34a.

Orson,
I have 32d as brand.
30d is starch or any of the palms that yield 30d.

Sorry, sunray, I confused 30d with 32d.

And 30d is indeed a starch, although the defn for it here is "cereal" from 17a.

Thanks orson.
I just looked at TCD and saw that def is cereal.
17a has the word as you say.
Now everything is explained.

I'm way behind everyone. Can anyone give me a hint for 16 d to get me going again, please?

Gale to soak local drain after rising (7)

It says 7 letters but is probably 6, given other answers so far.

Thank you

it's a 6 letter wind (shortened form of what we'd normally hear it called on the weather forecast)

3 letter word for drain (again we usually have a 5 letter one) = 3 letter word for soak
then it's thematic so you need to .....

all 3 words are in red Bradfords
