BREAKING NEWS!! BREAKING NEWS!! BREAKING NEWS!! BREAKING NEWS!!
A major earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale hit Reading in
the early hours of Wednesday 21st May 2003. Epicentre: Whitley Wood.
Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly muttering
"mentill " and " innit". The earthquake decimated the area causing
approximately £30 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of
mementos from the Balearics and Spanish Costa's were damaged beyond
repair. Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many
locals were woken well before their giro arrived. Reading Evening Post
reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered,
still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting
had happened in the area. One resident - Tracy Sharon Smith, a
15-year-old mother of 5 said "It was such a shock, my little
Chardonnay Mercedes came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two:
Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm slept through it all. I was still
shaking when I was watching Kilroy the next morning." Apparently though,
looting, muggings and car crime did carry on as normal.
The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Sunny
Delight to the
area to help the stricken locals. Rescue workers are still searching
through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings,
which include benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and Bone
China from Poundland.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?? This appeal is to raise money for
food and clothing, parcels for those unfortunate to be caught up in this
disaster. Clothing is most sought after, the most needed include: Fila or
Burberry baseball caps, Kappa tracksuit tops (his and hers), Shell suits
(female), white sport socks,Rockport boots and any other items usually sold
in Primark.
Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.
Required foodstuffs include; Microwave meals, tins of baked beans, ice
cream and cans of Colt 45 or Special Brew. 22p buys a biro for filling in
the compensation forms, £2.00 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for
a family of 9, £5.00 will pay for a packet of B&H and a lighter to calm the
nervesof those affected.
Please do not send tents for shelter, as the sight of posh housing is unfair
on the population of neighbouring areas.
