apples and pears

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'flight some say' is the definition.
'apples and pears' can be an answer for 'flight' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'some say' bit.

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for apples and pears that I've seen before include "London flight" , "Steps" , "taken by healthy eaters?" , "stairs in east London" , "Selection of fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
