URGENT - DUDLEY EARTHQUAKE APPEAL
At 00:54 on Monday 23 September an earthquake measuring 4.8 on the Richter
scale hit Dudley,UK causing untold disruption and distress -
* Many were woken well before their giro arrived
* Several priceless collections of mementos from the Balearics and Spanish
Costas were damaged
* Three areas of historic and scientifically significant litter were
disturbed
* Thousands are confused and bewildered, trying to come to terms with the
fact that something interesting has happened in Dudley. One resident,
Donna-Marie Dutton, a 17 year old mother-of-three said "It was such a shock,
little Chantal-Leanne came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two,
Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm slept through it. I was still shaking when I
was watching Trisha the next morning." Apparently though, looting did carry
on as normal.

The British Red Cross have so far managed to ship 4000 crates of Sunny
Delight to the area to help the stricken masses.
Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large
quantities of personal belongings including benefit books and jewellery from
Elizabeth Duke at Argos.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
* £2 buys chips, scraps and blue pop for a family of four
* £10 can take a family to Stourport for the day, where children can play on
an unspoiled canal bank among the national collection of stinging nettles *
22p buys a biro for filling in a spurious compensation claim
PLEASE ACT NOW
Simply email us by return with your credit card details and we'll do the
rest!
If you prefer to donate cash, there are collection points available at your
local branches of Argos, Iceland and Clinton Cards

There's a scam going round at the moment. A woman knocks on the door and asks if she can use your phone.....

Oh, and I've got a picture of a scoob falling into an icy lake if you're interested.
