ESSEX SEVERE OVERNIGHT ELECTRICAL STORM APPEAL

A major storm with torrential rain and high winds hit Essex in the early hours of Friday with its epicenter in Harlow.

Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, muttering "Faaackinell".

The almost hurricane level winds decimated the area causing approximately £30 worth of damage.

Several priceless collections of mementos from Majorca and the Costa Del Sol were damaged beyond repair.

Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their giros arrived. Essex FM reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Harlow.

One resident - Tracy Sharon Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said, "It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Victoria-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was skinning up and watching Trisha the next morning."

Apparently looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal.

The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Sunny Delight to the area to help the stricken locals, Rescue workers are still searching through the aftermath and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and Bone China from Poundland.

I did not notice the storm as I was in the night club with my girlfriend Sharon dressed in my usual tight trousers, white shirt and my sunglasses worn on the top of my head. I did shout ""Faaackinell" when I came out as I had left the top down on my convertible BMW. Sharon did not mind though as she was off her head on chardonnay and some stuff she calls Charlie.

Lol, Nice one Martyn

JP, you should keep a tight raine on your misses and keep her away from all those Charlies that hang around night clubs.

We have storms like that five times a week.
In fact two days without and folk ring up complaining.
Only difference is damage is limited to ten bob per incident or thirty bob per year.

Except Morecambe, nowt ever happens in Morecambe apart from Sundays when the traffic lights change.
