An Earthquake!
I thought the kittens had finally managed to take down a wardrobe with the way the house shook.

4. I was browsing YouTube clips when the house shock for about 5 secs
My brain rattled against the side of my skull. I had a "what the fuck was that?" moment. Doesn't seem to be many problems here though.

5. An earthquake would never come this far South,
Tesco would never allow it.

12. Not even Tesco Value Earthquake?
Course, I'd stump up a bit more for the organic Waitrose version.

I live by a major railway, so I sleep through worse than polite British earthquakes. I wouldn't have noticed.

6. Felt one strong jolt followed by two minor ones here in Cambridge.
Thought a fuel tank had exploded somewhere.

7. Not a sausage.
I went to bed about 1 am so I was probably awake when the Earth shook.

Mind you, I'd had an Ofsted inspector in my Adult Ed class last night. After that, most things are an anti-climax! :evilgrin:
