Major floods hit North Britain ...
Epicenter: Rotherham , England
News of the disaster was swiftly carried abroad by the town's 35,000
racing pigeons, as victims were seen wandering around aimlessly
muttering "fookinhell" and "chuffinnorah".
The flood decimated the town, causing almost £30 worth of damage.
Several priceless collections of mementos from the Balearic Isles and
the Spanish Costas were damaged beyond repair. Three areas of historic
burnt out cars were ruined.
Many locals were woken well before their Giro arrived. Radio station
RotherFM reported that hundreds of residents were confused and
bewildered, still trying to come to terms with the fact that something
interesting had happened in Rotherham . One resident, 15 year old mother
of 3, Tracey Sharon Braithwaite said:
"It were such a shock, my little lass Chardonnay-Madonna came
running into my bedroom crying. The twins, Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm
slept through it all. I were still shaking when I were watching Kilroy
t' next morning".
However, locals were determined not to be bowed, as looting,
muggings and car crime carried on as normal.
So far, whilst the British Red Cross has managed to ship 4000 crates
of Sunny Delight to the area to relieve the suffering of stricken
locals, rescue workers searching through the rubble have found large
quantities of personal belongings including benefit books, jewellery
from Elizabeth Duke at Argos , and bone china from Pound-Stretcher.
Can You Help?
Please respond generously to our appeal for food and clothing for
the victims of this disaster.
Clothing is needed most of all, especially:
* Fila or Burberry baseball caps
* Kappa tracksuit tops (his / hers)
* Shell suits (female)
* White sports socks
* Rockfort boots or any other product sold by Primark.
Culturally sensitive food parcels are harder to put together, but
your efforts will make a difference.
Microwave meals, tinned baked beans, ice-cream and cans of Colt 45
or Special Brew are ideal.
Please do not donate anything that requires peeling.
Remember:
22p buys a biro for filling in compensation claims, £2 buys chips,
crisps and a blue fizzy drink for a family of 9, £5 will pay for a
packet of B&H and a lighter to calm a child's nerves. And for only the
price of a bottle of house sparkling wine in a south west London pub
will be able to buy a house for a typical household of 9 + 3 dogs!
Urgently required: Tinned whippet food, Caesar for Jack Russells.
Please do not send tents for shelter - the obvious improvement in
housing might cause residents to believe they have been forcibly
relocated to Sheffield .
