Today is a Red Nose Day for year 2009. Red Nose Day is the second British's culture that I learn; this is my 6th week here.Red Nose Day is the main way in which Comic Relief raises money. It is held in the spring every second year (means every 2 years, I am so lucky to be here!) and is often treated as a semi-holiday, with, for example, schools having non-uniform days. The day culminates in a live telethon event on BBC One (like TV1 in Malaysia) starting in the evening and going through into the early hours of the morning, but other money-raising events take place. As the name suggests, the day involves the wearing of plastic/foam red noses which are available, in exchange for a donation, from many shops.
All this funny business unites the whole nation in trying to make a difference to the lives of thousands of people living in abject poverty, or facing terrible injustice, both across Africa and in the UK.
Every 2 years, they have different design of nose. These 3 types of noses is this year design.
This pictures taken in Sainbury's (a chain groceries store), they will doing something to ask for donation to Red Nose Day.
Most of the people wearing the red nose on this day, for the awareness of doing the charity.

LOL... Kikey! Red nose day! I've forgotten about it until you mentioned it. When I was in Coventry, my nursery also celebrated red nosed day, and I actually cried because I was afraid that the red nose will be stuck on my nose forever! LOL... some imagination 5 years old can have, eh? And since i was so afraid of putting those clown nose on my nose, my teacher had to paint my nose red instead! LMAO.
:D red nose day is the day for others to wear the nose and buy beer in a cheap price too!! £1 for a pint!
