Default Major Earthquake hits Liverpool

Apologies now and its probably SIAL

A major earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale hit Liverpool in the early hours of Monday.

Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly muttering "ar'ey", "calm down" and "eh eh eh!". The earthquake 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.

Merseyside News reported that hundreds of residents were confused and
bewildered, still trying to come to terms with the fact that something
interesting had happened in the area.

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. My youngest two: Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm slept
through it all. I was still shaking when I was watching Kilroy the Next
morning."

Apparently though, looting, muggings and car crime
did carry on as normal. The British Red Cross has so far managed to
ship 4,000 crates of Sunny Delight to the area to help the stricken
locals. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble
and have found large quantities of personal belongings, which include
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 to be caught
up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought after, the most
needed include: Fila or Burberry baseball caps, Kappa tracksuit tops (his
and hers), Shell suits (female), white sport socks, Rockport boots
and 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 and cans of Colt 45
or Special Brew. 22p buys a biro for filling in the compensation
forms, £2.00 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of
9, £5.00 will pay for a packet of B&H and a lighter to calm the nerves
of those affected.

Please do not send tents for shelter, as the sight
of posh housing is unfair on the population or neighbouring
areas of Everton,

I have his whistle, but the custard pie is tempting.
