AnswersAnswers
  1. It's "rhotacism". Lambdacism is a speech disorder of the L-sound; and a frontal lisp is when "S" and "Z" come out as "Th".
  2. It's -18C (cold enough to freeze water and food, but not vodka). In Oxfordshire it reached -17C overnight, and -20C in parts of Scotland.
  3. It's Ryanair, which slaps a £5 fee, per person per flight, on all but one type of card payment. For a family-of-four booking return flights that's an extra £40. Meanwhile, Staffordshire police told residents to stop calling 999 about snowballs. And former frontbenchers Geoff Hoon and Patricia Hewitt tried - and failed - to force a leadership ballot on Wednesday.
  4. There are three with the current legal right to the title "royal borough" - Kensington and Chelsea, Kingston-upon-Thames, and Windsor and Maidenhead.
  5. It's high cholesterol, indicated by the build-up of fatty acids around her left eye socket, says an Italian academic studying works of the Old Masters for signs of illness in their sitters.
  6. Brand and Perry have been an item for about four months, since September. He texted the Sun newspaper to confirm reports of their engagement: "It's true. Much love."
  7. It's real ale. The 33 stranded revellers had drunk all ales on tap except one, Black Sheep Riggwelter, by the time the snowploughs cleared the road home.
