A family home was saved from burning down when a pair of giant knickers were used to put out a fire.

Jenny Marsey's size 18-20 cotton pants were a lifesaver when they were grabbed to cover a frying pan fire at her home in Meryl Gardens, Hartlepool, Teesside.

I'm surprised that, in these days of political correctness and sizism, they were allowed to get away with calling them "giant knickers".

Bearing in mind that a ladies size 18-20 would be no bigger than a man's medium jockey shorts or Y-fronts they're not that big.

Made a nice story (and good PR for M&S) though.
