Our earthquakes are more like tremors than quakes, the damage was pretty much limited to chimney stacks falling.
We don't get the mass destruction that you guys in the East and the States get.

so all English guys
are you ok?
Best wishes.
Bridge

We are all fine Bridge (I think), but thanks for asking . There was one guy in Barnsley that was hit with a falling chimney pot, but I think he's the only casualty reported by the press. Looking at the papers today I think he's loving all the attention he's getting... Not much happens in Barnsley these days

Cheers

Hey Mark, as a Barnsley 'lad' you should be used to getting some stick

In actual fact I really like Barnsley, particularly the people. As you know, I have my office in't tarn center

You'd be amazed at how much money they're pumping into re-developing the centre, give it another couple of years and you won't recognise the place.

Cheers

Disaster in Barnsley An Appeal for Your Help...

A major earthquake measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale hit in the
early hours of Wednesday morning. Epicentre: Barnsley , England .

News of the disaster was swiftly carried abroad by the town's 35,000
racing pigeons, as victims were seen wandering around aimlessly muttering
'fookinhell' and 'choffin-norah'.

The earthquake decimated the town, causing £30 worth of damage.
Several priceless collections of mementos from the Balearic Isles and the
Spanish Costas were damaged beyond repair. Three areas of historical burnt
out cars were disturbed.

Many locals were woken up well before their Giro arrived. Radio
Barnsley reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered,
still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had
happened in Barnsley .

One resident, 15 year old mother of 3, Tracy Sharon Braithwaite
said: 'It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Madonna came running into
my bedroom crying. The twins, Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm slept through it
all. I was still shaking when I was watching Kilroy the next morning'.

Locals were determined not to be bowed, as looting, muggings and car
crime carried on as normal.

So far, whilst the British Red Cross has managed to ship 4000 crates
of Sunny Delight to the area to relieve the suffering of stricken locals,
rescue workers searching through the rubble have found large quantities of
personal belongings including, benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke
at Argos , and bone china from Pound-stretcher.

Can You Help....?
Please respond generously to our appeal for food and clothing for the victims of this disaster.
Clothing is needed most of all, especially:

Fila or Burberry baseball caps
Kappa tracksuit tops (his or hers)
Shell suits (female)
White sports socks
Rock-Fort boots or any other product sold in Primark
Culturally sensitive food parcels are harder to put together, but
your efforts will make a difference.
Microwave meals, tinned baked beans, ice-cream and cans of Colt 45
or Special Brew are ideal. Please do not give anything that requires peeling .


Remember:

22p buys a biro for filling in compensation claims

£2 buys chips, crisps and a blue fizzy drink for a family of 9
£5 will pay for a packet of B&H and a lighter to calm a child's nerves

Urgently required: Tinned whippet food. Bones for Jack Russells

Please do not send tents for shelter. The sight of such posh
housing will cause discontent in the surrounding
South Yorkshire communities.
