Oh mo! It's that time of year again

It is that time of year when the thoughts of clean-shaven men start turning to moustaches – and all in a very good cause.

Movember last year raised £79.3m for male-related diseases.

Among this year’s runners and riders in the agency world are the Hertfordshire-based Intercounty team, where the ‘Mo Bros’ are managing director Greg Young, Oliver Pottrill, Jon Seward, Charless Wittich and Ryan Higgo.

All will be begin their 30-day sprouting journey on November 1 with clean shaven faces, and as their moustaches grow they must groom them daily. The moustaches cannot join to the sideburns as this is considered a beard, and no handlebars to the chin, as that is considered to be too goaty.

The enterprising team are highlighting their venture on Facebook, and getting people to choose the style of moustache that Greg Young should grow. So far, the Trucker has received most votes, but you can still vote to influence the final choice.

Other agents taking part in Movember are more than welcome to send EAT photographic evidence. EAT would rather like to be proved wrong in her theory that there is only one man on the planet who can get away with facial hair and that’s David Beckham.

Also, it will be interesting to see if Mike Ockenden of HIPs fame will be taking part. When last sighted, he was without his famous facial accroutrement – shaved off in the name of charity after a mere 30 years or so of growing it. But now would be a chance to sprout it again for charity.

So, is a month enough? We’re sure EAT readers will prove it one way or the other.
