Yes - sorry about that... My Minitrix Warship fell off the track again.

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

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

 

my mu and sister felt it in N Devon but here in Somerset, didnt feel anything. could have been a problem as I have been loading wagons, could have missed and got coal everywhere!

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.

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.

Thank you @themadhippy , I nearly wet myself. Wife's had a major coughing fit 'cos she laughed so much.

Should anyone be offended by this being referenced to Port Talbot please let me know and I'll remove it

@newportnobby  I don't see how NGF can be considered a friendly forum if this is allowed to stand.

@Yet_Another @emjaybee

Duly removed. It was almost bound to offend someone.
