Not just London ...

Sky is reporting other areas to ...

"Tremors have reportedly been felt across Britain.
Sky News has received reports of rooms shaking in Manchester, Oldham, Windsor and Dunstable."

Nothing in Glasgow though.

Mrs 38th said that the earth moved, I thought it was me-obviously not.

I FELT IT TOO! In hertfordshire.

I thought my house was falling down or I was tripping out or something...

I ruled out an Earthquake completely just because I thought it's too far fetched for an earthquake in England.

AWESOME. THAT IS SO COOL!

They do happen. I remember the last really significant one in 1984, slept through this one though...

Yeah- just been seeing on the news that they're not uncommon?!

What rock have I been living under... :? :oops:

It was a very strange experience - I thought it was my house finally giving in to subsidence! But I assumed it must be a mild quake.

I have a work colleague whose partner died last month - she thought he was visiting her from beyond the grave! :o

It was a relief to see on the news that there really had been an earthquake.

slept through this one, slept through the one in 2002 as well. was probably too young to remember the great quake of 84.

--- why do they never seem to happen during the day!!
