SUNDERLAND EARTHQUAKE APPEAL
You are probably unaware that a massive earthquake
measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale struck Sunderland
in the early hours. At the epicentre in Pennywell,
victims were seen roaming around aimlessly muttering
"wheeys keeys are theese".
The earthquake decimated the entire area causing
about 30 quids worth of damage. Several priceless
collections of ashtrays from the Balearics and Tenerife
were damaged beyond repair. Three historic areas of
burnt out cars, some over seven years old were disturbed.
Many locals were awoken before their Giro's arrived.
The Sunderland Echo reported that hundreds of locals
were confused, bewildered and still trying to come to
terms with the loss of Ladbrokes.
One resident a Miss Sharon Smith, a 15 year old mother
of six said "It was a shock to my little Chardonnay
Mercedes. She came into my room crying and put me and
Winston off our stroke but my youngest two Tyler
Morgan and Brooklyn Romeo Rainbow luckily slept
through it all. I was still shaking whilst watching
Trisha the next day".
Apparently looting, mugging and car crime did carry on
as normal.
The Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates
of lager into the area to help the stricken locals.
Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble
and have recovered large amounts of belongings
including Benefit Books, jewellery by Elizabeth Duke
at Argos and finest bone china from Mad Harry's.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothes
parcels for those caught up in the disaster. Clothing
is urgently needed and amongst the most sought after
items are;
* Fila or Burberry Baseball Caps
* Kappa Tracksuit Tops (his and hers)
* Adidas Trackie Bottoms 3/4 length,
* White Socks
* Rockport Boots
* and anything else from the Donnay shop
Food parcels must take into consideration local tastes
and should include Micro Meals, Pot Noodles, Baked
Beanz, Super Noodles, Sausage Rolls and Greggs pasties
for the babies. Special brew or Thunderbird would also
be gratefully received.
Every little helps. Remember:
* 22p buys a biro to help fill in a compensation form
* £2.00 buys chips with curry and blue Panda pop for a
family of nine
* £5.00 buys 20 B&H and a box of Swan Vestas to calm
the nerves of a grieving ten year old
Please don't send tents for shelter as the sight of
posh accommodation is unfair on the residents of
Hendon and Southwick.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP
If you are from Sunderland please do not take offence, it could easily of been Nottingham or Kirkcaldy!!!
