It was something of an oddity, even for central London, but dressed in a boiler-suit and heavy boots while wielding a sledgehammer to smash walnuts, the Racing Post's David Ashforth was happy to make a spectacle of himself for a good cause on Friday.
Bypassers may have been a little bemused at the sight of Ashforth going about his business while standing in a shop window for an hour near Holborn tube, but his efforts raised ?380 for Prostate Cancer UK's Sledgehammer Fund.
The event was streamed live on the charity's website as Ashforth attacked a nut - the size of of a man's prostate - every time someone donated ?5.
He said:?"It gave myself and people from the charity the chance to get the message across about prostate cancer and the work they're doing. There's still a lot of ignorance about the disease, and the charity is doing a great job in raising the profile of prostate cancer and money to support both research and people who have the disease."
You can support the cause at prostatecanceruk.org.
