Thanks to Derek for the Oxfam pictures …

The district manager of Oxfam started off in Banbury and cycled round all the Oxfam shops in his patch for Red Nose Day. He can be recognised by the cyclist outfit.

The staff of Oxfam in Abingdon all entered into spirit of the day which involves making people laugh then asking them for their money.

Since starting about 25 years ago Red Nose Day has raised over a billion pounds for charity.

Elsewhere in town Stevo, The Accousic Jukebox, was playing requests from Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Tom Waites and others songsmiths not usually known for their comic touch.
