With Comic Relief on Friday the nation is entering fever pitch when it comes to doing silly things and raising money for good causes.
The ethical hot drinks company Cafédirect has been organising 50s retro ‘A Night At the Sack Races’ racing events up and down the country to encourage people to be sponsored to ‘Jump in the sack’. The London event, hosted by T4’s Rick Edwards featured village fête-style stalls and entertainment from the likes of Dog is Dead and Roll Deep.
What’s more the company is donating 10p to Comic Relief from every special Red Nose Day pack of tea and coffee. All funds raised will help Comic Relief support communities in need both in the UK and Africa.

For his celebration, John Terry teamed up with Wayne Rooney to recreate the captain's last haircut.
"I needed a haircut, but we weren't allowed to leave the hotel," Terry told reporters.
"I asked Wazza and he obliged by giving me a little trim. I'm pleased with it and I might go back next time. He was asking for a tenner for it, but I still owe him."A first half goal from Peter Crouch and an 85th-minute winner from John Terry against... more
