BLACKBURN workers received a bouncing boost to their lunch break yesterday with a giant inflatable castle in the town centre.

The inflatable fun was provided by energy company Powergen to highlight the fact that workers in the town are not getting away from their desks at lunch time.

According to its survey, 75 per cent of workers stay at their desk and of those that go out for lunch only nine per cent switch off their computer.

So the company brought the bouncy castle to Blackburn to show workers how they can be more energetic themselves while saving on electricity when they were not in the office.
