Default UK - West Midlands Tornado

Casualties were seen wandering aimlessly saying 'bang out of order',
'mental' and 'that did my head in'.

The Tornado decimated the area causing in excess of £7.55 worth of
damage.

Several priceless collections of mementos from Ibiza and Corfu were
damaged beyond repair.
Three preserved areas of historic burned out cars were destroyed.

Many locals were woken before their Giros arrived.
One resident, Tracey Sharon Smith, a 15 year old mother of four said
'It was such a shock, little Chardonnay-Leigh came running into my
bedroom crying, and my hands were shaking that much I could hardly
skin up whilst I was watching Big Brother'.

The British Red Cross has so far managed to send 4000 crates of Sunny
Delight to the area to help with the crisis. Rescue workers are still
searching through the rubble and have found numerous 'Elizabeth Duke'
sovereigns, benefit books, bone china from Poundstretcher and Argos
catalogues.

However they have not managed to save any furniture from Crazy
George's as yet.

How can you help?
This appeal hopes to raise money for food and clothing parcels for
those unfortunate enough to be caught up in the disaster. Clothing is
most sought after.
Urgently needed are LaCoste tracksuits (his and hers preferably),
white socks, Burberry caps, woolly Benny hats and Reebok trainers.
Food parcels are also needed. They include McCain's Micro-chips, Aldi
Beans, Monster Munch and Iceland Pizzas.

Alcohol is also in short supply, especially White Lightening Cider and
Carlsberg Special Brew.

Cash Donations are also needed. 22p buys a Bic Biro for signing on,
£2.50 buys a jumbo sausage dinner, £3.00 buys a blag CD (not an
original copy), £20 buys a fake M.O.T (or 10 gallons of red diesel to
burn the vehicle out and £26.00 buys 200 Regal from Tommo who has just
got back from Kavos.

I have seen worse.

Anyway, the mother of four should be 12, not 15.

That was a slightly pointless though not unentertaining programme
IMHO...not nearly granular enough to enable anyone to really make a
decision on whether or not to move/buy somewhere.
