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.

Indeed, can be very risky at times trying to get a pair of knickers down.
