Well how many of us were woken by it, 5.2 on the Richter Scale, i certainly was. At 12.56 i was awoken by what i thought at the time to be a juggernaut speeding past the house, unlikely that though seeing as i live in a cul-de-sac .

I must admit i found the days news items ludicrous, earthquakes across Indonesia, Greece or Japan would have shown mass damage and/or death toll, our solitary reporter zooms in on a pile of six bricks. One radio station mentioned the singular human injury when a chimney fell on him, the D.J. pointed out that he would not be watching the television this morning, not because he was so traumatised or in hospital but because the aerial was also on the chimney. Some may find that funny and some may not, what should be heard from this is how pathetic the British are that something so comparably pathetic has to be magnified beyond its worth.
