He’s posing next to a loo wearing a tiny pair of orange underpants while holding a pair of Christmas baubles.
It’s Ian Hardisty, director of family-run Yorkshire agents Hardisty & Co, where no fewer than 13 male staff have used toilet humour to get a serious message across.
They have posed for a calendar aimed at raising money for Prostate Cancer UK, with all 13 featured on the front cover of the calendar.
Ian Hardisty is next year’s Mr December, and his brother and co-director Andrew is Mr November. Their father suffered from prostate cancer, and Ian’s father-in-law was also affected by it.
The idea for the 2018 calendar came after an office discussion about gender inequality when it comes to fundraising.
Andrew Hardisty, pictured on the throne and holding a newspaper to protect his modesty, said: “The toilet is the main prop because it relates to the cause and the symptoms of the cancer.”
The group photo on the calendar’s cover was taken in the garden of photographer David Charles in Tadcaster one very cold morning.
“I did feel for them as it was freezing,” the firm’s business development manager Tracey Hardisty told the local paper only slightly unwisely.
Anyway, good for them and thank you, chaps!
