      Maybe they thought it might have been "Did the Earth move for you, darling?"

        Actually that happened to me. A few years ago there was a small earthquake some 500 miles from here in Ottawa and I was sitting out having a cuppa. I felt like the ground had shifted but it was so slight that I questioned my sanity. Until later when the news reported that we did , indeed, feel the gound move :)

        So, on that morning I would have been a "I dunno" ....

        Too bad it wasn't strong enough to drop the parliament buildings... :)

          Been in a few when I lived in Gogledd Cymru, felt like a quarry truck doing a hand break turn outside your house :yikes:

          Made doors and windows rattle too.

                Went to Kefalonia , Greek island in June. Experienced two earth tremors while we were there. Very deep rumbling sound and everything starts to shake a little . Everyone goes quiet and looks at each other . They only last about 5 seconds , very interesting , but you ain't' half glad when they stop !

                    We've been in a few over the years. fortunately nothing too serious.

                    One on Crete (some spilt drinks), one on New Zealand (no structural damage but enough to make things fall off shelves etc.), Peru (caused landslide onto railway line and held up train for eight hours with all passengers stranded - no roads, but locals brought beer :Wino:), Chile (slight damage), Zanzibar (palm tree fell down :heehee:)

                      Thought I was one night, as it woke me up, but then in hindsight it was almost certainly a really bad case of flatulence........
