CARING staff at a York garage went back to school in aid of Macmillan Cancer Relief.

The team at Dixon Nissan, in Clifton Moorgate, did a sponsored "uniform day," in which staff paid a pound to wear old school uniform instead of usual company colours.

Anyone found "playing truant" by turning up in their usual Dixon outfit was charged double.

Peter Dean, general manager, said: "We wanted to highlight a serious issue in a fun way and raise money for Macmillan at the same time."
