From time to time every red blooded male reflects on how they might look were they to wear a thick, luxurious moustache.

This November is that time for me, and what more fitting way to divert the inevitable ridicule that can only come from experimental facial topiary than to blame it all on Charity.

Prostaid is Leicestershire and Rutland's prostate cancer charity that our business has been able to support in different ways for a few years now. They do fantastic work to support local men affected by prostate cancer (12 of whom are diagnosed a WEEK in our area alone - would you believe!) and deserve all the help they can get.

Tom Sellick and Burt Reynolds will obviously be my goal, however it is much more likely that I end up looking like Borat.

Whatever the outcome, please donate as generously as you feel able - so that a month of humiliation does not go totally to waste.

Thank you.
