Workhouse Christmas Video 2009.

17 12 2009

This is the sixth year that we’ve created a ‘no expense incurred‘ Christmas greeting in the form of a video. Please check out the link below, and please leave a comment on the blog, if you do we’ll give £1 to charity (in the highly unlikely event of this video becoming a ‘Boyle-like’ You Tube worldwide phenomenon, we’ll donate up to a max of £1000). This year we’re raising money to support Ben’s attempt at the London Marathon in aid of The Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

We would like to thank all our clients and suppliers for your support during 2009, and we wish you a Happy New Year, and a successful and prosperous 2010.

Merry Christmas,

Mark Jones, MD, Workhouse Marketing.

I think I must really be showing my age and how sad I am now … but I have heard of the Lancashire Hotpots and their local anthem ‘chippy tea’ ….
’nuff said. Merry Christmas, Elaine x

As the mother of a “Ben” who has Cystic Fibrosis, I know first hand how dibilitating this condition can be, I thank your Ben from the bottom of my heart for undertaking this task.

Both Bens are fine examples of heroic Lancashire lads.

What a wonderful reminder of the delights of Lancashire for those marooned in remoter parts.
But I think it’s about time Mark and Nita put their hands in their pockets and bought poor little Ben an up-to-date Rovers shirt!!

To the Paul McKinnon fan club…….the older your replica shirt, the deeper your love for the club…. we’re not United fans you know…

Hey guys well done with the vid ‘proper made me laff’ (good lancs accent that)!

Now why on earth did you not ask me to style this naked shoot? I could have been the holder of the sign if Graham’s arms got tired! think about it 12 naked women – 1 naked man

…out in the cold

…..running

…. erm

on second thoughts i choose the women

Good on you guys! such a good cause – im passing on the link…. NOW!
