URGENT - GLASGOW EARTHQUAKE APPEAL

AT 00.54 ON MONDAY 23RD SEPTEMBER 2002 A MAJOR EARTHQUAKE HIT MEASURING 4.8 ON THE RICHTER SCALE EPICENTERED ON GLASGOW.

Victims can be seen wandering aimlessly muttering: "Ah wiz $hittin' masel", "Ah need some jellies".

The Earthquake decimated the area, causing approximately £30 worth of damage. Untold disruption and distress was caused:

* 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

*The cone fell off the head of the statue outside the Modern Art Gallery

* Thousands are confused and bewildered, trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting has happened in Glasgow

*One resident, Mary-Alice McGregor, a 17 year old mother-of-three said "It was such a shock, little Chelsea came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Shauni 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 buckfast 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.
