Nitrous oxide was categorised as a Class C drug in 2023. Possession, where a person intends to inhale it for a psychoactive effect, is an offence. But the gas can be used for legitimate reasons such as pain relief in labour. Keating, from Manchester, became the youngest player to win the Women's Super League Golden Glove in 2023/24, and will feature in next month's Euros.

The price takes the biscuit as well FOUR, FOUR, CHEW 'Looks like a Wetherspoons plate' slam bemused Reading fans as new football kit is unveiled Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FOOTIE fans say their team's new home shirt is driving them pottery — because it looks like a Wetherspoon pub plate. League One club Reading unveiled its kit for the 2025/26 season to the bemusement of some supporters yesterday.

It is meant to resemble a biscuit tin in a nod to the Berkshire town's rich trade in the snacks. The club was previously nicknamed The Biscuitmen before becoming known as The Royals. But some smart cookies online say it looks more like the crockery from the popular pub chain.

For children, it is £48, £25, and £15 respectively — a total of £88. But supporters of the club, founded in 1871, seemed to be more concerned about the look of the shirts — modelled on Instagram by new signing Paudie O'Connor and by supporters in a club video. One fan online quipped: 'Looks like a Wetherspoons plate.' Another agreed: 'Wetherspoons plate kit.' A third said: 'We don't want to look like biscuits tins…not my cup of tea.' Leroy Lita scores a screamer for Reading against Crystal Palace Royals fan Matt Wilkinson commented: 'Let's hope we can do our talking on the pitch in this kit — rather than being mocked off of it for looking like a dog's dinner — served on a Spoons' plate.' One football fan added: 'Looks like my nan's wallpaper in the 70s.' Others said the jersey resembled a festive sweater, with one quipping: 'What in the Christmas kit is this?' But in a jokey reference to classier tablewear collections, Tom argued: 'If some trendy team like Venezia or Versailles came out with this, it would be lauded as one of the best shirts of the season. I think it's spectacular!'
