Just known as an outage in the power generation industry, do you need a hand to untwist your knickers?

Now I know, and good to know that it is known by that term in the POWER GENERATION INDUSTRY, but most of us are not in that industry. And by your profile I understand why you would recognised the term as well.

Yes please to your kind offer as well

Because there are people so f***ng celebrity obsessed in this country who might actually give a s**t. No idea why, but apparently some people changing their hair or wearing a funny coat etc warrants time for discussion in the press......
