Scarey Washing Machine Samoa Tsunami Auction

[Naki Rat]

Mike Whittaker of Scarey Washing Machine fame used the remnants of the SWM auction to go on a belated honeymoon to Samoa. Unfortunately for him it coincided with the recent tsunami and by all accounts he and his wife were extremely lucky to survive the ordeal. The only item they recovered was an underwater camera case and this is currently being auctioned on Sella to raise funds for Samoan family he met during the event who lost everything. There is also bank account details for donations to be made to aid their recovery.

Yeah I hard him this morning on the National Programme - good on him eh! :niceone: Although he did say when he found the camera case it had blood on it - which kinda made me feel a little uncomfortable about it.
