Anyone else feel this latest one or is it just me? :/ Even my girlfriend who was standing right next to me couldnt feel it and just gives me strange looks for shouting "oh my god! what the hell!" :P

Okay, the radio was full of people's thrilling accounts of feeling a very slight rumble last night, but what I don't really understand is what causes earthquakes when we're not on any kind of faultline between tectonic plates?

My memories of secondary school geography have long since faded, so can anyone enlighten me?

I'd gone to bed about 12:40 and I was in that strange state of being almost asleep when I sort of slowly came back to consciousness with a vague memory that my bed was shaking.

I was confused.

F**king typical. I went to bed early for the first time in over a year and slept right through it.

I don't really understand why we get Earthquakes in the UK. I remember all the tectonic plate theory from GCSE geography, but on all the maps i've seen showing the tectonic plates, none of them run anywhere near the UK (the nearest ones being off the coast of america and the very south of Europe.

If anyone understands why we can get epicentres in the UK, please explain...

Didn't feel it in Bristol, but then again, I was asleep listening to music.

Imagine @ngel felt it, as she's not too far away from the epicentre!

Grr..I want to be awake next time.

lol poor Hamo ^^ when was the last one you had? As I mentioned before the 2002 one was mine and it was much stronger, the whole house was shaking violently. I wonder why these earthquakes only go off late at night and early morning, why never around lunch time? :/
