rash = hasty
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!

My bradfords (10th ed) only has caim and came ......but Chambers confirms calm. Thanks again
The last one looks like a DD with 'uncouth' extra...

Lawless Yankee/lost dosh
PP, thanks. My Bradford's is the 11th edition. I was too lazy to check in Chambers!
Actually 'uncouth' is part of the first definition, sorry.
36a is a double def - 1 'lawless uncouth Yankee' (denoting an Americanism) + 'lost (denoting an archaism) dosh'/= money.
...sorry - you solved that earlier on, I missed it.
