We do get earthquakes in the UK. 5 in the last 30 days (although one
was centred on France) with magnitudes up to 2.9 on the Richter scale.

Can you even feel those? California residents probably don't even consider
those to be real earthquakes.


I haven't a clue. I did get caught in a quake in Cyprus once but have
no idea as to what that measured. Many years ago (somewhere around
1976) an earthquake was reported to have knocked people over in the UK.
