A WACKY supermarket boss will be all colours of the rainbow for Children in Need today.

Barry Thompson, store manager at Asda, South Bank, near Middlesbrough, is having his hair dyed purple, green and pink.

Barry is also having his face painted. While the paint will soon wash off, his multi-coloured hairdo could last a week.

Not to be left out Paul Meredith, the shop's produce manager, is having his head shaved while staff push shopping trolleys around South Bank.

Store spokeswoman Wendy Arundale said the store's efforts could raise £1,000 for charities.

As for her boss, Barry, she said: "He is absolutely brilliant. He is always game for a laugh."
