Shaken but not Stirred

I almost forgot...

England experienced an earthquake since 24 years.

Heres what the newspapers had to say:

"Shaken, but only slightly stirred" is how the Daily Telegraph sums up the impact of Britain's biggest earthquake in 24 years.

A Lincolnshire man tells the Guardian he assumed his tumble dryer was on before experiencing what felt like the "worst fairground ride imaginable".

The Sun says some thought a lorry had crashed into their house, others that a lunatic was running up the stairs.

The Daily Mirror finds it "amazing" that only one person was seriously hurt.

'Rattling saucers'
The Independent reports that close to the epicentre in Market Rasen "everyone was standing outside in their pyjamas". It says it seemed to be "that kind of shared encounter with adversity that we as a country traditionally relish".

The Daily Mail wryly comments: "A very bad day for the crockery; first it was the cocoa cups, rattling in their saucers, then the ornamental plates."

I, personally, never felt a thing and I forgot to ask Nick if he did. In fact, I only heard about it from a co-worker the next day and she said she thought a very large truck passed her house.
