ROYAL Mail staff in Farnworth have shown they have a nose for a good cause. For volunteers from its Transaction Services department in Farnworth will be raising a laugh while taking calls on Comic Relief night.

Dressed as soldiers, tigers and fairies, the team of Royal Mail staff will man the phones and take donations from all over the country on March 14.

An auction featuring Phoenix Nights goodies donated by Dave Spikey is expected to boost the funds, although Royal Mail still want more items.

Anyone wishing to donate items for auction should call manager Melanie Cooke on 01204 702424.
