[Neveracrossword]

12 Bradford's crossword dictionary gives 'Calm' under Rod, so drop the C?

12. T = The up north, I used to hear it a lot in Coronation Street!

[professorplum13]

12a but why "refuse up north" ... i get the other bit...i suppose it's the defn i don't really see..

[NickorWan]

'up North' is a qualifier for t' = the.

[professorplum13]

Ah thank you neveracrossword!

[professorplum13]

and thank you nickorwan too

[professorplum13]

My bradfords (10th ed) only has caim and came ......but Chambers confirms calm. Thanks again

[NickorWan]

The last one looks like a DD with 'uncouth' extra...

Lawless Yankee/lost dosh

[Neveracrossword]

PP, thanks. My Bradford's is the 11th edition. I was too lazy to check in Chambers!

[NickorWan]

Actually 'uncouth' is part of the first definition, sorry.

[ProfessorMaisie]

36a is a double def - 1 'lawless uncouth Yankee' (denoting an Americanism) + 'lost (denoting an archaism) dosh'/= money.

[ProfessorMaisie]

...sorry - you solved that earlier on, I missed it.
