• Still waiting for QPQ, otherwise long enough, well cited, hook cited, no obvious copyvios. Robvanvee 16:46, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

• There's just got to be a better hook in there somewhere. Ping me in a few days when I'm back home. EEng 04:27, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

• EEng#s, how about ALT1: ... that Victoria Hughes helped prostitutes use the loo? --Usernameunique (talk) 07:49, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Now you're talking. EEng 22:40, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Added a pic. There is a whole set at Flickr that are eligible for Commons if anyone thinks one of the others would be better. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:15, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

• ALT2: ... that Bristol "loo lady" Victoria Hughes provided tea and sympathy to local prostitutes? Philafrenzy (talk) 19:20, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Even better. EEng 22:45, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you, E and Philafrenzy for your fine efforts. Looks like I should crack on with that QPQ. Edwardx (talk) 23:31, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Hmmm. That gives me idea for another hook. EEng 01:28, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

QPQ now done. Edwardx (talk) 14:12, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Robvanvee or EEng#s, now that the QPQ has been provided could you check ALT1/2? --Usernameunique (talk) 15:45, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

I just dropped by to help with the hooking, Robvanvee did the review and so should add the final tick. (We have a lot of checks and balances and procedures here at DYK.) Personally I'm behind ALT2. EEng 22:32, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

• Yeah ALT2 in my opinion. Ready to go. Robvanvee 16:16, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
