That's nothing compared to the one we had in Lincolnshire a few years back 5.2 if I remember correct. I thought the house was gonna cave in that night. On reflection we have it good compared to other countries, like those poor people in Nepal.

That is so true, John. We are beyond lucky in the UK and we should remember that always.

Yes we should Maggi, Andrea has just told me to stop exaggerating, with regard to my previous comment, it only lasted a minute or so, but at the time I wonder what the hell was happening. It doesn't help when your half asleep.

Yes nothing to compare with recent events in Nepal. I can't imagine how terrifying it must be.
