Now all we need is a Volcano to go off in Iceland...

Neil Wilkinson, of Whitehaven, Cumbria, said the tremor "shook my house and the bed I was lying in.

"It sounded briefly like a large lorry was approaching,it could of been a Waitrose lorry.

I think Mr. Wilkinson is trying to sound posh! A Waitrose lorry - the closest Waitrose to Whitehaven is probably Lancaster!

He should have compared the noise to an Aldi lorry

Spoke tom my mum this morning in Whitehaven and they didn't feel anything, just heard a rumble.

Yep in an extended interview Mr Wilkinson said,i am glad the house isn't a newly built,because if that Waitrose lorry had hit the house,we would of been flat packed and washed out to sea,so to speak....
