At 4.3 I was surprised anyone felt it, but then I remembered the
English clubmen in their chairs, a national treasure.

I think it was the chimney pots crashing through the bedroom ceiling
rather
than the quake itself, that the people involved heard...

That wasn't much of a quake :-)
We only look up when they go over 5


You'd look up is 60lb's of chimney pot came in through your bedroom
ceiling...

Then you'd run.

Chimney stacks in the UK usually have four or six pots...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
