Sheffield Just Shook

Was very alarmed at 1am whilst in bed when the whole house shook absolutely scared me. We recently moved to a new house an i knew the builders had cut corners but that scared me. Just found out that there was a mini earth quare which lasted about a minute not 10secs like these boys at london state.

QUOTE FROM BBC NEWS 24

The tremor was felt at about 0100 GMT and lasted for nearly 10 seconds but it is unclear if it has caused any damage. The British Geological Survey said it believed the quake was of the magnitude of 5.1 and said the epicentre was close to Grimsby in north-east Lincolnshire.

Hope all you brothers and sisters are welland safe. Goodnite God Bless.

Woke my girlfriend and me up, I live in Lincolnshire, so the centre was not that far away from me. It felt like a convoy of lorries had just gone past the bedroom window at full speed, the earth moved for both of us last night which makes a change.:lol:

OK Guys, we'll have to come clean now, we set this earthquake thing up with the help of Aliens from Mars, as a marketing ploy, we were hoping that everyone's tiles would fall of the wall, creating lots of work for you guys and of course 'CornerTape'. Its backfired a bit as the only damage caused, was to a few chimeny pots and has only generated work for the fire brigade,

Ah well back to the drawing board,:mad2:

 

[dptiling]

today i blamed the the earth qwake for the state of my tools in the back of my van.

 

[IvegotsTILE]

I live about 40 miles from the epicentre so no wonder it was so strong for me.

Got a phone call from the plumber I worked with yesterday,I'd done a splashback that was all over the place so had to pack out a bit to get level,I decided to go back on Thursday to grout to give it more time to dry out.
Well the plumber said I don't know how to tell you this mate but half the tiles have fallen off the wall and smashed:whatchutalkingabout I kept saying your having a laugh but he was adament.
GOD DAMN:furious3: I'll come round right now and have a look!

He said don't bother I'm only having you on:lol:

I will hammer a few nails through his pipes next time I'm on one of his jobs
