Exclamation UK Hurricane Warning

A major Cat 3 Hurricane (Shazza) hit in the early hours of Monday.

Epicentre: Portsmouth, Hampshire. Victims were seen wandering around
aimlessly muttering "faaackin ell" ..

The hurricane 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.

Power FM (County Radio Station) reported that hundreds of residents were
confused and bewildered, still trying to come to terms with the fact that
something interesting had happened in Southsea apart from the local punch
up's at closing time!

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 "What the ***** was that?" My youngest two Tyler-Morgan and
Megan-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was watching
Trisha the next morning, and must av smoked 60 Lambert an Butlers"

Apparently though, looting, muggings, spraying graffiti and car crime did
carry on as normal. The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000
crates of Sunny Delight and special fried rice with curry sauce to the area
to help the stricken locals.

Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large
quantities of personal belongings, including 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 enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought
after, items most needed include:

* FILA or Burberry baseball caps

* Kappa tracksuit tops (his and hers)

* Shell suits (female)

* White sport socks

* Rockport boots

* Any Garments by Donnay

* 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

* Pork Scratchings

* Cans of Colt 45 or Special Brew.

22p buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms

£2 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks and slush puppys for a family of
9

£5 will pay for a packet of B&H and a lighter to calm the nerves of those
affected.



**Breaking news**

Rescue workers found a girl in the rubble smothered in claret - 'Where are
you bleeding from?' they asked - "Paulsgrove" said the girl, "Woss that got
to do wiv you?"

Hold on folks, can we please differentiate between southsea and Portsmouth. Southsea is nice, you just have to go through Portsmouth to get there.
