Hi Tom I live near Birmingham yes certainly felt it! woke me up, thought I had dreamed it, till hubby dashed up the stairs, incredible noise, weird feeling, Dudley had one few years ago, we felt that one a lot more, Re care home I work in a 'caring' residential home, we called ambulance yesterday evening, the paramedic made a comment that he liked coming to our home, as it was friendly,staff knew all about the resident and had all the info to hand, and that they always had a cup of tea when they were completing paperwork (hint hint) take care joan
