THE Calendar Girls effect has still to wear off. Or perhaps "wear" is not the word.

Female staff from Norwich Union are stripping the light fantastic to raise money for Children In Need, while pub regulars at Thorpe Willoughby, near Selby, are disrobing to fund a playground. Both displays of tasteful nudity will end up gracing calendars.

The way things are going, soon there will be hardly anyone left with their clothes on.
