I used to do the Guardian crossword 40+ years ago, but had stopped 25 years ago to bring up my daughter and work full time. Since retiring I have returned to the fray. I found this original crossword just as hard as some of the more recent ones and can't parse some of my solutions yet.
Please can I have a couple of hints to help me along the way.
6d Within a board, reform ain't possible (10) All I have is an N from 14ac
22d Not quite finding a space fro oatmeal cake (6)
I have B?R?I? and I'm not sure about the B and the I.
