Now, I'm going to sound mad if this isnt the case, but was there just a small earthquake in London?

No, it didnt smell. Just sat here, doing a bif of surfing and my seat and floor shook. I live on a quiet road and nothing was passing at the time.

I might well have been having a bit of a funny turn, but I dont think so.....

It was the collective sound of 4000 bankers throwing themselves from the roofs.

No earthquakes in London tonight!

It could be the foundations on your house/flat are dodgy and you might find it falls over later on.

I'm in W. London and was around Piccadilly from 1800-2200 and haven't felt any kind of tremors all day.

Just heard something about this on the news - apparently millions of pounds worth of improvements was caused to Chiswick, Tower Hamlets and Tooting.
Oxfam has launched an appeal for jellied eels, Kappa tracksuits and BMW 316s with bodykits, to alleviate the suffering of those affected.
One woman, a Mrs. Lizzie Windsor, was interviewed and said "It was just like the blitz. We stayed indoors away from those smelly people in the East End that time too."

etc etc....

Chiswick! This joke might need modernising. That is, I am assuming its a joke tongue out.
