From most of the letters I get and the clue looks like the answer should be "teabag"
But I get the letters BGETAE  One of the Es needs to be an A

    I agree.

    Across = OBTAIN, GWYNEDD, NOT THAT, ANYONE and Down = BAY, ALE, NUDITY, UGANDA, NET, TRY, HAN

    gives letters BGETAE

    The answer is a word that describes an item you'd need for an accompanying beverage to the afternoon tea box prize - so it should be TEABAG
