A major flood hit on Monday evening .
Epicentre: Doncaster, 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 £30 worth of damage. Several
priceless collections of mementos from the Balearic Isles and the Spanish
Costa's were damaged beyond repair. Three areas of historical burnt out
cars were disturbed.
Many locals were woken well before their Giro arrived. Radio station
DonnyFM reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered,
still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had
happened in Doncaster. One resident, 15 year old mother of 3, Tracy Sharon
Braithwaite said: "It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Madonna came
running into my bedroom crying. The twins, Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm
slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was watching Kilroy the
next morning". 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 or hers)
· Shell suits (female)
· White sports socks
· Rockfort boots or any other product sold in 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 give 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
Urgently required: Tinned whippet food. Bones for Jack Russells
Please do not send tents for shelter. The sight of such posh housing will
cause residents to beleive they have been forcebly relocated to Sheffield.
