WHAT a cracker! Brackenhill, the York marketing and communications company, hopes to raise a few giggles as well as groans from its clients this Christmas.

Instead of sending out Yuletide cards, it has distributed more than 100 Christmas crackers.

They contain seasonal one liners designed to crack em up - with the challenge: "Let's see you do better."

Clients were invited to send their own guffaw-worthy wisecracks as contributions to a special bellylaugh blog on Brackenhill's website at www.thebrackenhillgroup.com Contributor of the best rib-tickler will win a magnum of Champagne.

Andrew Forshaw, managing director of the firm, which is based at Woodhouse Grange, at Sutton-upon-Derwent, said: "It's been so successful so far that we're opening the competition to the general public so download your happy horse laughs now."
