GALLATOWN HURRICANE APPEAL

Hurricane 'Dougie' hit the Gallatown in the early hours of yesterday
morning. Victims were seen wandering round aimlessly muttering
"Shahoor,
that wiz radge eh!"

The hurricane decimated the area causing approximately £90 worth of
damage.
Several priceless collections of mementos from Majorca and Blackpool
were
damaged beyond repair. Three historically important areas of burnt out
cars
were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their giros arrived
the next morning.

Police state that incidences of looting, muggings and car crime were
particularly high during the night, but calmed down when the hurricane struck.

Twenty-two asylum seekers were rescued from a flat in Westwood Avenue,
rescuers are going to search the second bedroom later today.

Kingdom FM reported that hundreds of residents were confused and
bewildered.
They were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something
interesting had happened in the Gallatown.


One resident, Bernadette Riley, a 15 year old mother of 5 said "It geen
me a
right fright likes. A totally s*at masel! Ma wee Chardonnay-Mercedes
came
runnin' intae ma bedroom greetin'. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and
Sigourney-Daffodil slept through it aw. Ah wiz still shakin' when I was
watching Jeremy Kyle the next mornin' ken". Neighbour Joe 'Herdsy' Herd said
"The racket wiz mental like. At first ah thoucht it wiz the neds coming oot
'o' the BP garage, but it wiz even worser."

The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of
Buckfast
and two tons of Tunnocks Teacakes to the area to help stricken locals.

Rescue workers are still searching the rubble and have found quantities of
personal belongings including benefit books, syringes and bone china
from Poundstretchers.

Residents in neighbouring Smeaton (Chesnut Ave) offered to accommodate
those
left homeless, but the Gallatown people decided they were better off
where they were.

Council spokesman Mr A Wallace has indicated that it would take at
least a
full morning to get things looking like normal and added "There has
been a
real Blitz spirit, everybody's been totally blitzed".

Poundstretcher has agreed to stay open 24 hours to allow residents to
refurbish their homes.

The Government has pledged to ensure that bookies, pubs, chip shops
and
other essential services will reopen as soon as possible.
