It was at 00:56 actually. :P just saying

I read a topic about it on another forum, and it turns out the WHOLE of England felt it.

[WDoyle]

I felt it myself. It bout killed my lil cockatail bird
Wasn't very nice feeling.
I have checked local ISP information and customers on Virgin Media.
Lost their internet between 1 am to 6am if you live in the northampton region.
Bt users in the Carle and Mendlesham area lost their internet between 1am and was fixed by 5am.
Hope this information helped.

I was just getting to sleep, and heard my bed knocking against the wall... I thought, hmmm, this is weird, earthquake?

Then, cool! First earthquake I have experienced.



Then, sleep.

It was a really weird feeling... Like someone was standing at the end of my bed, shaking it.
