Answers

1. Moustache number four is on Jude Law, grown to play Dr Watson. One is George Clooney's circa 2001, two is Clark Gable's and three is Pierce Brosnan. Movember is a moustache-growing charity event to raise funds for prostate cancer research.
2. The claim was six in 10 children conceived in an MFI bed in its 1980s peak. With today's fragmented market, not even Ikea can make such a claim, and instead its estimate is one in 10 Europeans.
3. Chocolate digestives will drop in price - biscuits, so classed as a luxury. Jaffa Cakes and M&S teacakes will stay the same price as these are classed as cakes (no VAT).
4. It's Tony Blair - Newcastle's Sunday Sun has admitted it misquoted the former PM 11 years ago. Meanwhile, Selfridges sacked Santa after a grandmother complained he'd asked her to sit on his lap. And on Tuesday, Larry Mendte, of the Access Hollywood show, was convicted of hacking into rival Alycia Lane's e-mails.
5. It's "bosses". Swedish researchers said on Tuesday that the stress of working for an inconsiderate boss may increase the risk of heart disease.
6. It's "an egg", said environment minister Jane Kennedy - the only foodstuff all government departments source from the UK, according to figures out on Wednesday. Most milk served is British, but meats and produce lag behind.
7. Sarah Palin named her turkey Thanksgiving. And George Bush has pardoned his last turkeys - Pumpkin and Pecan - before leaving office. The practice of a public figure pardoning a turkey before Thanksgiving goes back decades.
