Wasn't there a 2.9 quake in Winchester yesterday?

Apparently so but I didn't feel anything at all even though I live about a mile from the supposed epicentre.

I was just about to ask what causes earthquakes in Britain, given it's distance from the fault lines, but then decided to Google it.

Found this short, interesting article:

Didn't feel anything, but I'm probably too far away.

Waits for someone to blame it on fracking.

Somebody on Sky has already done that.

There's been a few "feel the earth move" jokes at work. A couple of people slept through it

I felt a rumble, but it coincided with the local chinese takeaway opening so I just assumed it was the local fats.

I wish the fracking would hurry up and start so we can all enjoy the fun of earthquakes...

Nope. This is clearly a sign of God's anger at Cameron legalising same-sex marriages.

Oh no he didn't.

I felt my chair rumble while perusing online literature, thought a lorry had gone past, either that or gods wrath for my sinful life so far.

Certainly not Midlands, however the earthquake was nowhere near Bedford anyway!

I'm shocked nobody has posted the screen grab from a few years ago on here.

Can't have that now, can we!

I live in the Midlands, turns out it wasn't in Bedford anyway, but in Oakham which definitely is Midlands.
