Red Nose Day again, when Britain picks its nose to wear in aid of Comic Relief - "doing something funny for money". The charity's huge aim is 'a just world free from poverty', and in aid of this normally sane people walk around with a large plastic ball on their nose - just as Kirk and Spock, Margaret Thatcher and Dostoevsky are modelling here in the window of an Oxfam second hand bookshop. Schools, workplaces, national TV, all do weird, wonderful or just downright pleasant things alongside the red nose wearing. My workplace today had its usual cake sale - a surfeit of Scottish homebaking to deliver a sugar rush for the day's tasks. The chap in the flat cap behind Kirk and Spock is Prince Charles, by the way, gamely entering into the spirit of things.
