Default Earthquake Appeal

This came into my account - Do you think we should consider this one ?

Quote:
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-Mel Dutton, a 17 year old mother-of-three said "It was
such a shock, little Chelsea-Louise came running into my bedroom crying. My
youngest two, Tyler-Brooklyn and Britney-Courtney 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
