A fireman accused of bringing disgrace to the service by walking nude across his station yard has been saved from the sack - by his thong.

A senior officer thought Peter Gilbertson, 35, who has received five commendations for bravery, was naked in the yard at Gorton, Manchester.

But at a disciplinary hearing yesterday Mr Gilbertson insisted that he was simply on his way to collect some shower gel, and that his dignity was being protected by a white Calvin Klein thong.

The panel accepted his argument after he produced the thong in evidence. Instead of sacking him, the panel gave him a final warning.

Mr Gilbertson, a fireman for 15 years, apologised for "any embarrassment" he had caused.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
