Barnsley Flood Appeal
A major flood occurred in the in the early
hours of Friday the 15 June 2007 in Barnsley, South
Yorkshire, England.
News of the disaster was swiftly carried by 85,000 racing pigeons.
Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly muttering 'foookinell' and
'choofinnorah'. The flood 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. Radio Barnsley
reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered, still
trying to come to terms that something interesting had happened in
Barnsley.
One resident, Tracy Sharon Braithwaite, a 15yr old mother of seven said
"It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay Madonna came running into my
bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler Morgan and Britney Storm slept
through it all. I was still shaking when I was watching Trisha the next
morning" Apparently though looting, 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 debris 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 enough to be caught up in the disaster.
Clothing is most sought after, items need include:
Fila or Burberry baseball caps
Kappa tracksuit tops (his & hers)
Shell suits (female)
White sports socks
Rockport boots
Food parcels maybe 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 fish,
chips & blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9, and £5.00 will pay for a
packet of B&H and a lighter o calm the nerves of those affected.
Urgently required is tinned whippet food.
Please do not send tents for shelter, as the sight of posh housing is
unfair on the population in neighbouring areas.
