Earthquake epicentre at Brandy wharf

Emergency services attended a report of an Earthquake felt across the country last night. The Epicentre was at a Lincolinshire camp site called "Brandy Wharf"

Reporters spoke to Hagrid who said "Warrrrrrr grrr yaaaarrrr shook me challet". Meanwhile officials tried to work out what was new damage and what was "normal". Specialist teams have been deployed to sample various cider bottles for contamination.

We contacted the Government to ask what they were doing to prevent future reoccurances. "I can reassure the public that no personal data was lost during the 12 second tremor, we have found a large hole and we're looking in to it" Said a local M.P. The chancellor claimed the incident was ,"Nothing what so ever to do with the collapse of the Northern rock".

How was it for you?

Big shakeup for us near boston, woke us all up, adrenaline pumping. Mind you, the big trucks rumbling past are nearly as bad, but not so severe, and not as long lasting.

The other half was still up and didn't notice anything. I may well have been alseep by 0056, 0043 was on the clock the last time I looked.

Felt it here in Bletchley, felt just like a truck passing only quieter. That's the second 'quake I've felt in the UK having slept through a 4.8 in California in 1998 - that one was only a few miles away, but the hotel was built on shock-absorbers and I'd had rather a lot of beer that evening :-)

I'm glad that was an earthquake - i thought i was going mad!

I spent a good 5 mins peering out of the windows as I thought that somebody had knocked once on my back door really loundly, and something had fallen over outside.

Bit disappointing for an earthquake really :(

I remember a small one which happened when i was a lad playing out in the garden at home. Felt just like the whole world dropped down by about a foot - which is more like it!

I was on the couch watching telly. Heard something go "bump" upstairs and felt the couch do a weird wiggle. That was about it.

I was playing Command and Conquer Zero hour on line against a dude from work (we work shifts!) and thought that the game had suddenly got very realistic :-)

I was driving back from work through the middle of London at the time, what with the bumpy roads I think it'd take a bloody tidal wave for me to have noticed anything!

My ex lives in Lincoln, only a few miles from the epicentre near Market Rasen. She says the whole house shook, even the furniture, as if a massive vehicle had passed on the road. All OK for her with no damage - could have been worse.

Well what with having to dodge staggering zombies, a pair of tamborine bashers, mad taxi drivers and the dreaded bendy busses, perhaps it's not such a bad idea. When I got back to the hotel, I said to the hotel receptionist "Is it OK to leave my car there?" only for him to look confused and indicate he didn't understand, I gave up after the third attempt. I went to Marks & Spencers in Brent Cross to buy some cheap shirts and I've never seen such a shabby store or such indifferent, impolite staff.

As you can tell, I love cities ;-)
