  4. From the British Geological Society website:

    Do earthquakes occur in Britain?

    YES, between 200 and 300 earthquakes are detected and located in the
    UK, by the British Geological Survey annually. Although distant from
    the nearest plate boundary, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, earthquakes occur
    as crustal stresses within the tectonic plates are relieved by movement
    occurring on pre-existing fault planes. The risk from these earthquakes
    is not insignificant and must be considered when engineering for
    sensitive installations.

    I was a little angry at the induced screen wobble. I thought it might be
    a brain haemorrhage, but as with all things, it passed, and I feel
    nothing once again.

    My favourite 'quake comment was from Guardian reader Nick; "Some jiffy
    bags were dislodged from some high shelving in our office. I can only
    thank God that no one was standing underneath at the time."

    Same here. I initially thought the cold water tank was about to come
    through the ceiling. Which wouldn't have been fun as my bed is
    directly beneath it.

    Well, yes, but.
    First OO Course I got sent on back in the early 90s.
    Literally the first couple of slides, those very same
    logical cows.
    I knew that.

  11. I expect it'll be attributed to climate change.

    Half past one this morning, my place rattled and rocked slighlty, Enough to
    make me check outside to see if we had an uninvited visitor coming through
    the wall, but .... bugger all to see.

    One of the dogs didn't like it though.

    Wow, I'm suprised a reader bothered to knock it up for them on their
    phone, and send it in.

    My ex mother-in-law slept for 3 years with a fully assembled RD400F in
    her loft, directly above her bed. She went fucking spastic when she
    found out.

    Raises some questions!

    How did you get it up there.
    If "in bits" why did you construct it up there.
    How did you get it down.
    etc etc

    Took it up in bits, loosly assembled to keep all the parts together,
    and stripped to come down again.
