The UK gets these types of quakes fairly frequently.

[Smoggy XJR]

Of this magnitude only 2 per year according to Dr Richard Luckett, British Geological Survey.

That's in "I just thought there was a lorry driving past" territory.

It was probably just a neighbour hammering frozen sausages into their lawn. Serves them right for not cutting their leylandii.

The first one I felt quite dramatically in MK, my desk shook, odd feeling. Havent noticed the other two. Guess they are lower magnitude

[Smoggy XJR]

Yep. Felt that one, but didn't feel the second.

[Hobnobgti]

Didn't feel the one on the 13th but felt the one this morning. Was working on laptop and whole house started shaking, 'oh its just another earthquake' I thought. Didn't st myself like the first one at least!
