Yeah heard about it too.

Didn't feel a thing.

It was only a small one so no big deal.

When I was in Shropshire felt an earthquake then.

I think it may have even dislodged a chimney pot.

Was at Raf Shawbury at the time

One o'clock in the morning and the radiators banging like crazy...

Grumbling noise too...thought a Herc was about to go through the windy!

It was certainly a WTF moment.

As a Shrewsbury resident... at the time we lived in a terrace and our neighbour thought I was drunk (again) and thought I'd fallen downstairs

Yep on average and most go un noticed :d

Did you also know that there is an active fault line across the english channel that crosses the eurotunnel?? it is monitored fairly heavy afaik. but like most earthquakes and fault lines the tremors are small enough to go unnoticed.
