Brum Tornado Appeal
? on: Today at 09:05:37 ? (I nicked this from the Tidy board...)
As you are probably aware, recently, a serious tornado hit parts of
southern
Birmingham.
News of the disaster was swiftly carried to the civilised world by
pay-as-you go SMS messages. Victims were seen wandering around
aimlessly muttering 'blooooodyell' and 'yourite?'. The tornado decimated
the
area causing several pounds worth of damage. Several
priceless collections of mementos from the Balearics and Spanish Costa's
were damaged beyond repair. Several historic Ford Sierras
and Nissan Bluebirds were blown off their brick plinths.
A large number of 3 series BMW's had their alloy wheels damaged and a
quantity of Renault Clio's had there tinted windows blown out. Many locals
were woken well before their giro arrived.
One resident, Sharon Knowles, a 15yr old single mother of seven said: "It
was such a shock, my little Beyonce came running into my bedroom crying.
My
youngest two, Azif and Delbert slept through it all. I was still shaking
when I was watching Trisha the next morning".
Another resident, Community worker Royston Akimose, 38, said: "I was 'avin'
a meetin' wiv a business associate, the sky went dark, an, de next
fing I know, me ganj is blown all over 'is Impreza!"
Apparently though, looting 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 Pound Stretcher.
How Can You Help?
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those
unfortunate enough to be caught up in the disaster. Clothing is most Sought
after, items needed include:
Fila or Burberry baseball caps
Kappa tracksuit tops (his & hers)
Von Dutch t-Shirts
White sports socks
Rockport boots
Any large gold plated accessories
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 bottles of Smirnoff Ice. 22p buys a biro for filling in the
compensation forms, ?2.00 buys fish, chips & blue fizzy drinks for a Family
of 9, and ?5.00 will pay for a packet of B&H and a lighter to calm the
nerves of those affected. Please do not send tents for shelter,
as the sight of posh housing is unfair on the population in neighbouring
areas.
