IF YOUR postman looked like he might try and commit highway robbery last week, never fear — it was all part of an effort to embrace Movember month.

Wayne Marsh, Phil Hamlyn, Matt Freeburn, Richard Gooding and Perry Vallance of Okehampton Post Office all took part in Movember, a campaign where thousands of men across the country grow a moustache to raise awareness and money for men's health issues charities, particularly prostate and testicular cancers.

To celebrate the growth of their handlebar moustaches, the team dressed up as Mexican banditos in the Royal Mail Delivery Office. The five amigos have been raising money for Prostate Cancer UK, which has been selected as the Royal Mail Charity of the Year. Whatever the posties raise individually will be matched by the Royal Mail.
