Quote:

"People from across large parts of England have reported an earth tremor.

The BBC has received calls from people in Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Manchester, Berkshire and the West Midlands about a "quake".

The tremor could be felt in central Birmingham at about 0100 GMT but it is unclear if it has caused any damage.

The West Midlands was hit by an earthquake in 2002 in the Dudley area that reached 5.0 on the Richter scale and caused damage to homes."


Oh, for God's sake, is that all they can do? It took me 3 minutes to find detailed info, and I'm in bed at the moment... and they call themselves "news" agency.... pathetic
