Felt the tremors in Birmingham aswell. It seems that it happened in most of England because I've got friends in London, Peterborough and Hull who also felt it! :o

Some conspiracy theorists believe that the tremors were caused by the infamous Charlie Zelenoff throwing a full power punch onto his bag ........

Others believe that it was an obese Danny Williams getting knocked down in training .........

who knows ..... :TU:

Rumour has it that the epicentre was somewhere between the Donny Dome and the MEN Arena.

I don’t know whether that means anything but......those poor bastards who died during the War of the Roses may have been churning in their tectonic graves.

Coventry area, felt like the bed was moving in an upward motion, quite strong really.

It hit Basingstoke, as some of work people were woken.

Didn't hit Southampton, or I slept through it.

I know people who felt it in London.

As I have trucks rumbling past my house all the time I probably didn't notice.

yep, i had it & i'm in donny. the shelves next to my bed, and my bedroom window seemed to be rattling like mad. it felt like the whole room was going to fold up in 1/2. i shot out of bed, thinking wtf. this has also happened before several weeks ago. i thought i was probably in some kind of delirious sleep but now i know what it was.

I was wondering why my couch rumbled when I was watching TV.
