No doubt the 'rumble' will be discussed on national news this evening. |

We had just had our waterbed and our room was empty as the wardrobes were being built. It shook the bed and we thought it was a feature on the bed they hadn't told us about! LOL. It was 4.8 on the Richter scale - on 22 September 2002 - bit of history there. Terry thought someone was breaking in (I wouldn't have like to met them!) and I thought a truck had come off the dual carriageway and hit the house! |

Not even a mention on National news but local news did. This is what so frustrates northerners, if someone sneezes in london they have to tell the whole world, if it rains heavy in London they alert flood warnings, if the sun shines in london 'we' all are having a heatwave. The only time they mention the north of England is for all the wrong reasons like crime, poverty, unemployment, poor housing etc. Like its not happening in london (you bet it is, lol). |
