Stuck on one last clue, 33 Down.
Place for new post, almost inside. (5)
Would be most grateful for any helpful hint.
Thanks.

Hi, defn is 'inside', think of an office desk.

Thank you very much, pka1. I did have a look for "inside" definitions, but obviously wasn't thorough enough ! Will have another try.
Thanks again.

I have completed the grid and followed all the instructions in the preamble, but I have been looking at 45a for nearly a day without being able to come up with the answer. Can anyone help me?

Hi Casanova if you are after the original entry it’s a shortened version of producing (bit obscure but in Bradford’s) making a dried fruit

Pka1 you’re right - the full answer is in chambers. Father followed by vacant again

Got it now, thank you, pka1.

Wow that was challenging but so clever. Would not have had a chance without the help in here. Not sure I have the correct explanation of the text (1d) because most refer to it as Blank Verse but entered something that looks correct!

Hi, mandyrobo704,

thanks a lot. I had worked out how the wordplay operated,but how do you get access to Bradford’s?

Bradford's Crossword Solver's Dictionary is available in good old fashioned paper - I don't know if there is an online version. Chambers do a slightly similar Complete Crossword Companion. Both are invaluable for the Listener.
