A MAJOR EARTHQUAKE MEASURING 3 ON THE RICHTER SCALE, HIT ON MONDAY 21 OCTOBER 2002. IT EPICENTERED ON MILES PLATTING, MANCHESTER
Early reports mentioned victims seen wandering aimlessly muttering : Sorted , Top one and Eh, Arr Kid .
The Earthquake decimated the area, causing approximately £20 worth of damage.
Several priceless collections of mementos from the Balearics and Spanish costas were damaged.
Three areas of historic and scientifically significant litter were disturbed and many were woken well before their giro arrived.
Thousands are confused and bewildered, trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting has happened in Manchester.
One resident, Donna-Marie Dutton, a 17 year old mother-of-five said It was such a shock, little Chantal-Leanne came running into my bedroom crying, Kylie-Britney and Jordan-Tyrone hid under their mattresses, but my youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm slept through it. It really scared me, I was still shaking when I was watching Trisha this morning.
Apparently though, looting did carry on as normal.
The British Red Cross have so far managed to ship 4000 crates of Sunny Delight 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.
