HI everyone

I've made quite good progress, but have ground to a halt in the top NW corner. A couple of hints may just get me going again.
For 3d I have ??????O?A?
and for 11ac I only have ??? ?????C?
Although I got the cheese in 22ac fairly early on, I haven't been able to parse the last five letters. Any ideas for how it works.

The sun has come out here now, so I'll just go and check the last of my washing. We didn't get much rain here- just 2.1mm since midnight. I don't think that will fill the butts.

...and classic PDM and solved 3d, though not sure where maverick comes in.

I am definitely not a fan of Paul, and not to be heretical, but I didn't care for the Rufus clues here either. I still don't have 14, so any hints are welcome.

Hi, roof. I think maverick is the anagram indicator.

Mathprof, I’m not surprised you are struggling with 14, it requires a very specific knowledge of a long running UK soap ;-)

Hi Roof. Last five letters 'rolling'.

Thanks mathprofrockstar

14a you need to think televison soap and where you'd find a bar.

Darla, 14 is hopeless w/o UK-based GK.
It's a trademark Rufus device, cryptic definition, one of his all-time most famous / favo(u)rite clues. Name of a bar which was (is?) a staple in some British soap opera show. I had to consult Google, despite sussing the defn. straight off.

Sorry Rocky7, I just don't understand your hint for 11ac. Is 11ac an anagram?

11 is an anagram, defn. leaves (edible).
