Hi all

1. A schoolboy nickname for a dish of noodles and rice, frequently
served under food rationing in Britain during the Second World War.
2. [Cockney rhyming slang] dice.
3. [Scottish] Parts of the loom: The locks of the loom press the newly
created weft thread against the already woven fabric using a lice and thus
allowing more design possibilities.
4. A brand name for ivermectin, which is an effective alternative for
the treatment of head-lice infestation, hence reference to "locks."

and diagonal, sometimes of varying widths, used to test the accuracy of
reproduction of image copying or transmission equipment.
7. Something very likely to be liked.
