Btw, Last night around 11.30 we were all woken by an earthquake. It was 3.4 magnitude a mile down the road off the coast at Silverdale. I honestly thought a chimney had collapsed and went out half-dressed with a torch to check the house before we discovered what had happened.

I saw that on a newsfeed. They said it had been felt as far as London - didn't feel it here though.
