Leeds Tornado Appeal
A tornado hit the Harehills and Morley areas of Leeds last week,
specifically East End Park, causing widespread damage, Casualties were seen
wandering aimlessly saying 'bang out of order', 'mental' and 'that did my
head in'. The Tornado decimated the area causing in excess of £7 worth of
damage. Several priceless collections of mementoes from Ibiza and Cross
Green market were damaged beyond repair.
Three preserved areas of historic burned out cars were destroyed. Many
locals were woken before their Giro's arrived.
One resident, Tracey Sharon Smith a 15 year old mother of four said 'It
was
such a shock, little Chardonnay-Leigh came running into my bedroom crying
and my hands were shaking that much I could hardly skin up whilst I was
watching Trisha'.
The British Red Cross has so far managed to send 4000 crates of Sunny
Delight to the area to help with the crisis. Rescue workers are still
searching through 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 Captain
Value as yet.
How can you help?
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 and hers preferably),
white socks, Burberry caps, woolly Beanny hats and Ellesse 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
Carlsberg Special Brew. Cash Donations are also needed. 22p buys a Bic Biro
for signing on, 2.50 buys a jumbo sausage dinner, 3.00 buys a blag CD and
26.00 buys 200 Regal from Tommo who has just got back from Kavos.
