With some of the leading UK national newspaper and magazine journalists on our staff, the:101 is uniquely positioned to answer those questions and more.

Midland Expressway has an ongoing commitment to support the County Air Ambulance who will also receive £30,000 from the amount raised on the day.
In the meantime, we have just been sent a selection of images from a recent photo shoot by Posers Photography in Brewood. They are all stunning and these are a couple of our favourites. What can we say? Except: All together now, awwwwwww. Top job girls!
RETIRED business adviser John Smith has scooped £5,000 after wisely investing in playing Compton Hospice’s annual “superdraw”.
Mr Smith, aged 69, of Sedgley, and his wife Janet won the money after buying 10 £1 tickets in a special Silver Sweep lottery, which helped commemorate the hospice’s quarter century of caring.
He was presented with his cheque by former Coronation Street star Chloe Newsome and Silver Sweep mascot Barry Brush at Wolverhampton’s Grand Theatre.
Mr Smith said he was delighted to have won such an impressive amount of cash. He has supported the hospice lottery for around 16 years since its team cared for his mum, Winifred.
