Yep.. it was centered not far from here (in Pontardawe a bit NE of Swansea). We we're all wondering wtf but no reports of damage - and it was pretty short.

I thought it was just tthat the Ospreys scrum had collapsed 8)

Felt a minor tremor through the sofa when doing the Daily Fail sudoku but just dismissed it as a botty burp.

Hi ,
Working on fifth floor in Birmingham today and felt it and an aftershock shortly after. First was a  rumble that shook the desks the second was longer and softer but still audible and rattled the building.

No worse than the others I have had in North Wales. One of those was centered 12 miles away.

all part of life`s merry tale.
Robert

And you're about 80 years overdue for a really big one as far as I understand?

That won't do you much good, half of 'em are active or dormant volcanoes.

Should anyone be offended by this being referenced to Port Talbot please let me know and I'll remove it
@newportnobby (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=264)  I don't see how NGF can be considered a friendly forum if this is allowed to stand.
