Article is new enough and long enough. Both hooks are cited inline and verified but I have a slight preference for ALT0 (I would however suggest linking to touchline in case readers don't understand what it is). QPQ has been done, no close paraphrasing found. My main concern is that the article seems to mostly be United Kingdom-centric, and while this isn't a point against it for DYK purposes, would it be possible to add some more information about the rest of the world if possible?

- @Narutolovehinata5: I've added a little more on Italian, Russian and Argentine examples. Don't know if we can do anything with the smoking in the toilet fact i've added (probably not on BLP grounds) but I'll leave it to you to decide. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:12, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
Seems good enough for me. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:38, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
