Actually I didn't think that one was ambiguous - the "sounds like" is definitely associated with the fruit.

Yes Chris, now I've thought about it and keeping to the theme.

I've finished now, although there are a couple that I haven't fully parsed and am still waiting for the PDMs.
My favourites were 25a and 6d.

Many thanks Elle
I've got it now, but can't parse it.
It means I haven't got 21ac right. I'll work on the rest.
Any hints for 10ac? Flight of fruit from the East End?
I have ?I?I?G

10a is Cockney rhyming slang.

Hi, Roof!
Parsing for "grapevine" = "where information passes"(def)
g - good
PE - exercise
ravine - gaping hole

I'm not sure about 10a..........apples and pears = stairs?

Yes. Flight is the definition.

For 21a think the opposite of lies and remove the first letter (head).

Thanks Rossim
I thought that might be the answer, but couldn't see why.
