A few clues have me stumped but I'll start with two.

34. Grapes possibly from Thailand topped product of grapevine (7)

The letters COULD be TU?OI?? but not confident.

23D. Cattle disease carried by enormous southern bug (6)
??S???
Could be hidden as in oussou or ussout but no such words.

Thanks in advance

23 Here's a guess. Cattle disease = BSE.
Answer might be -BSE--
Yes! cattle disease = BSE, enormous = OutSize = OS, southern = S,
and O-BSE-S-S (vb) = bug, preoccupy, etc.
Brilliant, bert_h!
23 Obsess. OS=enormous. S= Southern. BSE +=Cattle Disease.
Still working on 1st clue.
34.Rumours?
"Rumours" fits the "product of grapevine", dannyk 13, but I'm struggling to make it fit the rest of the clue.
I've been toying with 'rumours' for a while dannyk13 but can't work out why.

Thank you all.
Now that I know BSE is a disease, it will be useful next time.

34 could be Tumours. T (Thailand) + rumours (product of grapevine)
Grapes possibly could be sour
Question Author
When Grape and tumor (US spelling) are googled together, it gives:
The tumor is often recognized as it prolapses from the introitus with a characteristic gross appearance of grape-like clusters of tumor masses.

rumours topped is umours with T gives tumours (so grapes possibly).
Now all the clues that tumours crosses with are solved except for one.

32. Letter bishop's penned goes astray (4)
would be ERRS (R from tumours is second letter in ERRS).
But how to fit "letter bishop's penned" with the answer?
Errs - 'R(ight) R(everend)' (bishop, penned in) 'es' (letter 'S')
Question Author
Thanks Lie-in King.
I always thought of "S" spelled out as ESS. But ES would work.

Now the last clue. Any hint would be appreciated.

15. Working cat loses second client (4)
?SER

USER fits but why?
(Mo)user
