AnswersAnswers
  1. It's sheep rustling. The National Union of Farmers says 32,926 sheep have already been stolen across the UK, compared with 38,095 taken in the whole of 2010. The downturn and rising meat prices are being blamed.
  2. It's Little Miss Bossy, who was created in 1981. Little Miss Chatterbox came in 1984 and Little Miss Busy in 1990. The series started in 1971 and a total of 120 million Mr Men books have been sold worldwide.
  3. It's serve on the front line. The Royal Navy says the exclusions are for medical reasons and discrimination on the grounds of gender is not tolerated. The submarine ban is currently under review and is expected to be eased.
  4. It's Jeremy Irons. He said in an interview this week that "any woman worth her salt can cope with a pat on the bottom" and called it communication. Lady Gaga dressed up as her male alter ego Jo Calderone to promote her new single. Nasa has launched a probe called Juno.
  5. It's kissing on the cheek. The Knigge Society says a peck on each cheek is a form of "terrorism".
  6. It didn't beat the Appalachian Trail, which topped the list. Mount Kilimanjaro was fourth, Tiger Leaping Gorge ninth and the Inca Trail 10th.
  7. It's style. Lloyd says Swagger Jagger is about someone criticising you for your style and wearing the same clothes the next day. So now you know.
