I didn't know there were quakes in the UK. 
I felt one here in Greece on Friday 26 Oct at 4.35pm. It was a 4.9er about 100km from where I'm at. It felt like someone was pushing the back of my lounge chair wanting me to get up.

I believe that in the 1700's Chichester Cathedral spire collapsed due to an earthquake (and you really needed to know that)
And in NZ there's usually an earthquake every couple of weeks - from 5.0 - 6.5 on the Richter scale (and NZ House keep very quiet about this when naive Poms go for their immigration visas)
