At 00:57 on Wednesday 27th February an earthquake measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale hit Liverpool causing untold disruption and distress.

Many were woken well before their giro arrived.
Several priceless collections of momentos from the Balearics and Spanish Costas were damaged.
The earthquake decimated the area causing in excess of £17.55 worth of damage.
Parked cars were rocked off their bricks.
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 Liverpool.
One resident, Donna-Marie Dutton, a 15-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. My punter got dressed and left. I was still shaking so much that I could hardly skin-up when I was watching Trisha this morning."

According to police however, looting, mugging and joyriding 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 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 YOU CAN HELP
£2 buys chips, scraps and blue pop for a family of four.
£10 can take a family to Rochdale 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.

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 & hers preferably) white socks, Burberry caps, woolly Benny 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 Stella (wife beater).

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.
