Don't often get a problem with their prize xword, but am querying this clue:-
3 Down:- "Fruit producer gets show of disapproval - switch"
(9,4) The second word is -A-E and I can only imagine that
the answer is RASPBERRY CANE, but how does SWITCH
equate to CANE? Did they mean to print SWISH? There
is already a misprint in the clues where "scrobatics" was
printed instead of "acrobatics".
