....a bit late but need some help with these 2 clues..
26 across 'Fruit to give on leaving ' , 4 letters
I have _A_E .... so possibly it is DATE which is a fruit but is a date something to give on leaving ?
29 across ' Some struggle in sterling from part of Ireland' , 8 letters
I have _E_N_T_O........beginning to doubt the O !
