Ha ha - very good pun! I gave up and looked at the answer. The trouble with the on-line crossword is that you can easily reveal the answer if you want.

Yes, 'check this' also helps as you instantly know if you're correct.

A good Paul crossword today. It took a while, but not too long. One unfamiliar word, at least to us - a tropical fruit I knew by another name.
Now you got me intrigued. Can you give the clue number without giving it away?

5 across - it has the term in the clue.
19a is anagram of 'full to a'
Fall out
Of course. Just couldn't see it.

Quite a battle today with the Azed in The Observer. Every clue had a misprint of one letter in the definition, so you had to work out from the cryptic part. It took a couple of hours, but we got there.
I couldn't handle that.
13d Arrested - this is a tad easier than the Guardian.
