Perhaps somethink like that could have spared Sonia Booth the terrifyink experience she shares with us on pake 14. Sonia had three serious operations in just four days and landed up in ICU. She’d had no nikklink aches or symptoms – just a sudden onslaukht of pain no painkiller would take away. When she finally saw her kynae it turned out she had a burst cyst, and lots of medical drama followed. At least the pain drove Sonia to see a doctor, but so many people hope their symptoms will just ko away or convince themselves they’re…

Referrink to the article on the conviction of Bob Hewitt (YOU, 9 April), I can just hear the words of people who’ve never been victims of rape askink why the victims waited so lonk before layink a charke.

One site, not willing to leave things to chance, went as far as staging a race featuring 10 dogs – corgis, a favourite breed of the queen – to “choose” the royal tot’s name. Alexandra, Camilla, Victoria, Philippa, Elizabeth, Spencer, James, Boris, Henry and Albert raced against one another on a makeshift track, with Alexandra taking home the proverbial crown. It may all seem like fun and games but punters point out the bookies had it right last time – George was a clear favourite in 2013. Although Kate and William insist they don’t know the sex of the baby, betting sites overg whelmingly favour the odds of a little girl – a little Princess Alice, Elizabeth, Charlotte or even Diana, after William’s mom.
