ASIDELINES: I'm not nicking knicker nickname
THEY may call Janet Stain the Knicker Lady because she gives talks on ladies underwear but that's not a name she ever uses herself.
"My talks are called Knickers: A Brief History. If other people want to call me the Knicker Lady that's up to them," says the Sheffield woman.
In fact, there is a Knicker Lady, actress and vicar's wife Rosemary Hawthorne, who has trademarked the name.
"I've spoken to her husband and told him I am absolutely no competition. She is so much bigger than me," says our very own Gusset Gal.
"I've never called myself the Knicker Lady. Being Janet Stain and talking about knickers is bad enough. I've been called Knicker Stain!" she laughs.

So will the boardroom's wine leftovers be turned into fuel to deliver the chardonnay vinegar crisps?
