They're having a laugh at Shropshire Council offices
Council staff in Shrewsbury will have something to smile about this week as they go red nose crazy for Comic Relief.
Shirehall bosses have started the fun early by installing a giant red nose outside the building ready for Friday.
Workmen put up the red nose to get staff and passers-by into the fundraising spirit. Staff at Shirehall hope to raise hundreds of pounds with cake sales and fancy dress planned for Friday.
A spokesman for the council said: "All Shropshire Council staff are being encouraged to 'do something funny for money' on Friday to help raise cash for Comic Relief.
"Among the activities are bake-offs, cake sales, book sales, quizzes and much more, and staff will be coming to work in fancy dress, or wearing something red, in return for a donation.
"The Column Restaurant at Shirehall will be joining the fun by serving up a special comedy-themed menu."
Among the dishes are Local Beef and Rosey Nosey Tomato Lasagne, Breaded Plaice with Yellow Lemon Noses and Bakewell Tarts.
