Thank you for the clue

I thought I had the theme from 1a I have triangle ......triad.
But I don’t think it’s right
Any help much appreciated

Cocobunny, your 'triangle' is fine, 'triad' isn't involved. The unclued entry at 29 D was a big help to me. Having a few of the letters lead me to what it was - and I then spotted the link to an ordinary clue....

I seem to have completed the crossword with the exception of 2d. 'Poor Adelaide led away as a nymph'. I see the anagram indicator and the letters to be ignored. The first four letters are confirmed by the crosses, but if the answer ends in A, it's not in Chambers. Has anyone else had a problem with 2d or am I just being very slow today? Thanks!

Thanks kirky. I have that too but was suspicious because it's not in Chambers.
