I've gone for option 3 as it's the closest to a duvet floating option. Should have left the window open...

I'm in Ashford and I was woken by a noise coming from my bedroom door. It was rattling in its door frame, which only lasted a second or two, and at first I thought someone had slammed a door in the house but it wasn't a 'bang' that woke me. Perhaps it was someone trying to get in my door, again unlikely as everyone was in bed, so I just went to sleep again with a slight sense of unease.

Woke in the morning and heard of this earthquake, so its safe to say that it rattled by bedroom door.

See, this is what happens when you frack the land. If there was no fracking this wouldn't have happened.

I live on the Fylde coast, every earthquake and minor tremor is now attributed to fracking by fruit loops.

I'm guessing it was the off licence delivering to Dom and Steph (Gogglebox reference). That'd be enough for 5+ on the Richter scale anyday of the week.

My Mum lives in Westgate and doesn't sleep much so she was already awake when it started. She said the whole house sort of rose up and down twice and that was it. She didn't hear any giant bang.

Anyway, if you want to understand how quickly a conspiracy theory can start, by 10-00 her next door neighbour had popped in and apparently her son said that someone in the fire brigade had told him, that actually it was one of the stockpiles of explosives that are buried in the secret tunnels under Manston airfield detonating .

The Americans left them there at the end of the war as any fule kno. silly
