*phone rings* Hello? Oh hey! Its nobody! He says he found that funny! :p

So a 5.2 tremor hits the UK and everyone has to crap there pants and go screaming in to the night, meanwhile the press do a What If situation where the UK has been reduced to rubble and millions dead whoop-D-Do.

Bah, Humbug, tosh, rubbish, so what? We have on average 200 a year which don't bat anyones eye so why this one? The one in Wales was 5.3 20 years ago so why all the hype? Slow news day is your answer. :roll:

5.3 on the scale - here in Leicestershire it made my bookshelves sway and creak and it wobbled me on the sofa whilst I was playing my guitar. It also freaked my cats out... a lot!
last time I experienced an earthquake was not long after I met my other half - and I kid you not, we were in bed at the time, any banging of the walls was nothing to do with us :oops:
hehe it's one of those things where you ask yourself 'did that really just happen?' the UK being the placid place it is to live and all of that.

For the record it was a 5.2 only, source The British Geological Survey (BGS).

Didn't feel anything here across the sea. Then again, I was at a gig :)

And I'm not the best guide - I slept right through the 94 LA quake, a 6.7 :)

meh, not read news today, but 5.3's what they were saying at about 3 or 4am this morning on the bbc world service radio.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Better get twidling those little white knobs pretty quick!

Seriously though, I felt it up here in Bolton Lancs. Woke me up. Was still a little unsure though if I'd dreamed it or not this morn until I turned on the news this morning.

An Israeli MP blames quakes on gays in Israel a few days ago. Now for this earth quake, I think Archbishop of Canterbury should come up quickly with something :p

If that is the best Lincolnshire can offer shame it was not flatten. :roll: :rolleyes:

I only just got those pics :rotfl:

I have been watching the news and it was crass, all sides came across saying this was the great earthquake that rocked England and we were lucky to survive it. What BS come on get a grip of reality for fecks sake, yet another slow news day.

I was sitting on the edge of my bed and felt it, so what.

Steed i agree on the slow news day, Point was earthquakes that we can actually feel over here in the uk are pretty rare

I knew it wasn't the end of the world quake but still a rare event none the less

At 1st this morning at around 50mins after the event they said it was 4.7 and centre was around hull

Now it's panned out and settled down and settled into another persian gulf news day

Ahh well Have Fun
