Didn't feel any tremors down here in derbyshire. Was it a small one?

nothing in chester....

little one or big one up there?

Yep just happend now, Im in York in the Uk, Instantly all over my facebook from freinds that felt it too

Not too much, But definately a funky tremor, A bit more intense than the last one we had about a year or 2 ago

sooooo tempting to make a joke....must........refrain..........Ok, it passed. How often do you guys get earthquakes in Britain?

very strange I carnt say i felt it but i am in Huddersfield and i was playing on ma xbox when i noticed the reflection of my ceiling light which hangs on a cord shimmering on the wall slightly, i thought it might be a draft but i wonder if it was a quake tht caused the vibrations of my light reflecting

Could other people feel it quite strong

Its just been talked about on Sky News ( its on their breaking news banner now ) apparently a 3.4 epicenter was in the north sea.
news.sky.com...

A tremor has been reported by people living in Cumbria, North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.

The US Geological Survey has told Sky News it is aware of an incident which happened just after 9pm.

The tremor may have been centred under the North Sea.

More follows ...

I knew it !!! its 2012, we all are going to die

but wait, isnt this 2011

I have never felt a quake here in chester...i have lived in manchester too and nothing...ever...lol

Nothing so far on my monitors.

Good find harry Thankyou for confirming that my toilet wasnt trying to kill me :3

I'm in South Yorkshire, (about 40 miles from York) nothing to report here. I hope it don't wake me up tonight, because, it's my first day back at work tomorrow, and I really need some sleep. I'll report back if anything happens.
