SUNDERLAND ECHO DISASTER APPEAL



As you are probably aware a massive earthquake measuring 5.8 on the
Richter scale struck Sunderland in the early hours. At the epicenter
in Pennywell, victims were seen roaming around aimlessly muttering
"wheeys keeys are theese". The earthquake decimated the entire area
causing about 30 quid 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 4000 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.
