Due to outstanding generosity, we have blasted past the £1,000 level and a new target of £1,500 has been set.

Some of you may have seen the horrendous suit that is part of the Clive Boddington wardrobe... if you haven't ... lucky you...!!

He claims it's Burberry but we all know the faux Chav version (so well worn by such luminaries as Charlotte and Gavin Church and virtually any contestant on Big Brother) when we see it. Some of you may know that I have had an issue with this suit for some time now (how could anyone who wears such a thing be taken seriously... let alone run a £67m programme) and the time is upon us to put these crimes of fashion to the sword...

Clive has magnaminously offered the opportunity to burn said Chav attire at the stake in aid of comic relief... Clive won't be in it!!

Kieron has pledged £150 to get the kittty going, Ben the same... If we reach £1000 in pledges, it's off to the newsagents for a box of Swan Vestas and a can of lighter fuel...

Please find it in your wallets to donate and all the money will go to Comic Relief and not a penny to Burton when Clive buys a replacement suit....
