Villagers cut off as dripping thong sparks brown out

A village in Lincolnshire was cut off after a low flying thong wedged itself on power lines.

The skimpy black smalls had been attached to a helium balloon which had become entangled in a power line supplying the village of Leadenham. Locals suggested they may have escaped from the local Polo clubs summer ball.

The title of this thread is very disturbing.

Maybe people wanted the lights out for a reason...;)

That's just weird. Incidentally, "dripping thong" and "brown" should not be used in the same sentence. Neither should "thong" and "wedged."

Truth. Especially when the brown is out.

I agree, I almost didn't open this thread because of the awful mental image in my head. Glad the actual article dispelled it.
