Thousands of people from across England contacted the BBC to described how their homes shook during the tremor.
I expect these are the same people who send Christmas cards to characters on Eastenders.
EARTHQUAKE!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s God angry at people who whine about the price of prescriptions…

I know it’s not Tuesday, but frog’s front bottom anyway.
It was the country shaking under the weight of all those damn immigrants rushing over here.
It was an Al-Qaeda plot. All the terrorists jumped at once.
John Jenkin, from Bourne in Lincolnshire, said things fell from his shelves. “I was woken up. It was hell.”

Here’s one:
“I woke up and the first thing I thought was that there were a load of burglars in the house”
What!? Making the sound of an Earthquake?!
If I was a burglar, one of the first rules would be: try not to make the same amount of disturbance as quite a severe earthquake …
I thought hell was supposed to be an awful place of infinite torture, but if its actually a place where some things fall off a shelf once every 25 years I’m going to go back to killing hookers.
I stood in a doorway like I saw in a film once. Until I fetl utterly ridiculous standing in a starshape nude in my sons doorway.
I was actually hoping it would be a bigger one.
*that’s what he said etc.
yet more of the taxpayers money squandered. The loony left wants earthquakes but not in their back garden. They should lock these tremors up and throw away the key. But that would contravene their seismic rights! If the green brigade wants to devalue British culture by allowing these richter-scale immigrants in then the great old empire was all for nothing. If they want to shake the ground we walk on let them do it in their own country! Also it’s all because of the euro for some reason.
“I was fast asleep when I felt a whiplash, it was quite violent … lasting a few seconds. The whole house shivered, me and the wife both jumped up. The pheasants started singing and other birds began to sing as well.”
And Mrs Cape stifled a giggle
I’d heard climate change was responsible.
“I thought it was the sound of the mighty Hull City moving up to the Premiership.”

John Jenkin goes on to say “The police around here suddenly became very busy”. I guess that’s why today the Lincs police are asking for a budget increase on the basis of special circumstances.
Every time things fall off shelves and people are woken up they have to mobilise and start herding the bewildered Lincolnshire populace about like so many sheep.
If I could find it there was a local HYS from the last earthquake that basically went “…and everything was shaking so I rang the police, but they said, there’s nothing we can do about it. I want to know why we pay taxes if that’s the service we can expect…”
