A Kent underwear store has made a racy offer to football fans - a full refund if England win the World Cup.

Lacies in Folkestone says anyone who picks up underwear between now and England's first match on Saturday will get their money back - if Fabio Capello's men go on to win.

Owner Sue Sheppard said she came up with the idea after reading that the divorce rate in the UK increases during such a tournament.

She said: "We want to spice things up in the bedroom, to make sure couples stay together and don't fight over the TV during the World Cup."

It's not just knickers that are included in the promotion - Sue's got a whole range of bits and pieces on offer.

"We do sexy basques, the widest range of stockings in Kent and adult novelty items," she added.

But after making the offer Sue's been a bit worried she might not have thought it through.

"Since I thought of the idea I've been looking at the predictions and they say that England have the best chance in years, so I've been down the bookies to put a bet on them winning to balance out my luck."
