Apparently we have had more than 70 quakes in the UK so far this year!   Scary stuff, ey. 
I  wonder what causes them all?   I never dreamed we had so many,  did you?

The most recent one was in Mallaid, Scotland at 8.25 on Tuesday last.
It was 7 km down, and measured 1.2 on the Richter Scale.   The epicentre was on the main A830.

It lists the ones we've had here.  Most seem in Scotland.

Just in passing, I thought I might mention that the biggest one was in Yorkshire.  Just saying.

I reckon I could beat 1.2 on the Richter scale with a goodly fart.

Funny that.  Marge said exactly the same the other day.

Ah. Too old too young. There are medications that may help of course.
