Please help - I have loads of answers but can't fit them in. Please can anyone tell me what the clue about French directional indicators means to help me start writing in the answers?

Nord & Sud appear in row 1 and row 15 of the grid, and est and ouest in colums 1 and 15 (but the last two are in the wrong columns - i.e. est is on the left and ouest on the right).
I quite forgot about that indicator and was lucky to fit my 1st 10 -letter word - the "K" in the across position near top right. "J" fits in across position bottom left. Hope that helps
The French words for North, Southm, East and West (Nord, Sud, Est, Oest) can be read in the perimeter of the completed grid. In the correct solution, the words for North and South (but not East and West) are in the appropriate positions, ie. top and bottom. The grid can also be completed differently, with across answers becoming down answers etc, but this solution is wrong because NONE of the directional indicators is then in the right place.
