The World's Longest Moustache as UK prepares for November 16 moustache madness Day
The world's World longest Moustaches
As the Movember craze struck, suddenly men begin to look like they've stepped out of Downton Abbey - or worse, Duck Dynasty - and a toyboy becomes harder to spot.

The world's longest tash is thought to belong to an Indian chap called Singh Chauhan of Rajastan who proudly sports a 14ft monster. He likes to keep it healthy with massages in mustard and coconut oil.

Put down the razor, hide away those clippers, and trouble the barber no more. It's that time of year again, the particularly hair-raising one - and we don't mean Halloween.
November is no more - the month now heralds Movember.
Thirteen years after it was first launched to raise money and awareness of men's health in 2003, its popularity can be spotted up and down the high street, in bars, schools, offices, and trains.

The charity's current partners include Prostate Cancer UK and The Institute of Cancer Research.
The aim of Movember, also known as No Shave November, is for perfectly ordinary men to brave the task of growing a moustache to raise money for charities fighting prostate cancer, testicular and mental health issues such as despression.
By taking part in Movember, men also help to raise awareness of men's health in a very public and obvious way.
Movember started in Melbourne, Australia in 2003, when a group of friends decided to revive an old fashioned trend - the moustache. At that time about 30 people took part, and the event has got more popular ever since - with women also supporting it.
Last year more than 5 million people - referred to as 'Mo Bros' and 'Mo Sistas' - supported Movember, with countries taking part including Germany, Hong Kong and the UK.
How to take part
The Movember Foundation is a global men’s health charity which raises vital funds and awareness for the often ignored issues of men’s health, by encouraging men to boldly grow a moustache for the month of November.
