(background note: my SO is from around Liverpool)
A major earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale hit Liverpool in
the early hours of August 24th 2003. The epicentre was Huyton.
Casualties were seen wandering aimlessly saying "bang out of order",
"mental" and "that did my head in". The earthquake decimated the area
causing in excess of #17.55 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 disturbed. Many
locals were woken before their giros arrived. The local paper reported
that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered. They are still
trying to come to terms with the fact that the damage was caused by
something else instead of them.
One resident, Tracey Sharon Smith, a 15 year old mother of four said "It
was such a shock, little Chardonnay-Leigh came running through the
cardboard door into my bedroom crying. My hands were shaking so much
that I could hardly skin up when I was watching Trisha the next
morning". Another local resident known as Macca said the earthquake
would not stop him going to work, after all, the T.W.O.C'ing, Burglaries
and Graffiti would not do themselves.
The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Sunny
Delight to the area to help with the crisis. Rescue workers were still
searching through rubble and have found large quantities of personal
belongings which include benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Dukes,
bone china from Poundstretcher and a number of Argos catalogues. However
they were unable to save any furniture from Crazy George's.
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. Most needed are Kappa or other tracksuits (his and hers),
white socks to tuck the tracksuit bottoms into, Burberry caps, woolly
Benny hats and Reebok trainers. Primark clothing is most welcome. Food
parcels are also needed. They include Mcains Micro-Chips, Aldi Beans,
Monster Munch, Nutella chocolate spread and Iceland pizzas. Alcohol is
also in short supply, mainly Lambrini, White Lightning cider and
Carlsberg Special Brew. Cash donations are also needed, 22p buys a Bic
Biro for signing on purposes, £1.50 buys cheese & chips and £26 buys 200
Regal from Tommo who has just got back from Kavos. |
