Last night, apparently, England was hit by an earthquake measuring 5.3 on the old Richter scale. This morning the presentors on the news were all a-buzz with excitement. The epicentre was near Grimsby, up North, but by all accounts tremors were felt in Southampton and as far West as Swansea. Read all about it here . The worst that happened was that a few chimney pots fell off the roofs of houses and no one was injured.
I didn't notice anything. At 1.00 AM, when 'quakey' struck, I was sound asleep and dreaming about things other than tremors and shudders. But a few people in Bristol did ring the police with anxious questions so I presume that parts of the city were subjected to it.
Oh well. We all survived. It's probably the fault of George Bush or global warmening..
