Leeds Tornado Appeal
A tornado hit Leeds last week, specifically East End Park, causing widespread damage. 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 mementoes from Ibiza and Corfu were damaged beyond repair.
Three preserved areas of historic burned out cars were destroyed. Many locals were woken before their Giro's 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 Trisha'
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 Beanie 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 Lightning 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 and 26.00 buys 200 Regal from Tommo who just got back from Kavos.
