ITV News has no time for warm-up

Further to Monkey's report of how ITV News staff had to decamp to Millbank after a power cut at Gray's Inn Road , the good people of ITV have rung up to inform us that the back-up generator did not in fact fail at its news HQ. It's just that it takes a while to warm up, and the power cut came too close to transmission time to get it up and running. When is a back-up not a back-up? Exactly.
