Felt in Norfolk about 12.55. Quite scary, the bed just moved and it sounded a bit like an aeroplane or large lorry on the bypass. Wonder where the epicentre was. Family didn't even care.

Thought I might have dozed off because my legs were moving. But then a friend texted from Norfolk saying plates had fallen off her wall, so I knew it was an earthquake. Then Hannah texted from Kent saying she felt it. Then I went on DS on my phone and everyone said the same.

All happening on the shoutbox. The first place we've all gone in the state of an emergency ;)

It wasn't far from Nottingham. I was in bed, almost asleep, when there was a bit of a rumble, thought my housemate was jumping up and down but then it got pretty intense and I realised he's not that heavy. I jumped out of bed and ran out of my room because I was convinced the ceiling was going to fall in.

There were quite a lot of people out in the street confused, I was walking around outside in my pyjamas. It was rather weird. Don't feel like sleeping yet. I wonder if we'll get any big aftershocks.

Are The Sun being serious with this article?

http://thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article851350.ece

Stunned Mark Young said he looked out of his window and saw an EIGHT FOOT crack in his neighbour’s garden at LEICESTER.

He said: “There was a big crack through the ground and there was smoke and flames coming out. It was spitting things out.

“It is about eight foot long and about two foot wide. I was completely shocked.”

Nope, nothing, nada, niente. The earth didn't move for me last night in Leeds. I was asleep, but my boyfriend heard a loud noise, like the floor upstairs moving, he thought I'd fallen out of bed!

I must've got used to mini quakes when I lived in Torremolinos - I only noticed one bad one a few years ago:

'Statistics produced by the Andalucía Institute of Geophysics indicate that an earthquake occurs every two and a half days in Málaga province. Most of them are so minor that they usually go unnoticed; indeed of the 127 earthquakes in the province last year only 19 of them exceeded 3 points on the Richter scale.'

Don't think the Spanish Tourist Board makes this info readily available to all the folk off on their hols to The Costa del Sol!

My worst experience was being woken up by 2 ETA bombs going off within a couple of minutes walk of my flat when I lived in Madrid. I've never heard such a loud noise. VERY scary. My housemate was hysterical.

They always planted bombs around 9 am, so they wouldn't have got me. I never used to surface before 10 am. Unfortunately one of my neighbours died later in hospital as a result of these b*stards.

I'm in York, and we felt it quite strongly here - was all very surreal. Oh, also, the news reports have now changed - last night they were saying it was 4.7 on the Richter scale, and they're now saying it was 5.3.

It's a logarithmic scale, so that's quite a serious upgrade. It's those Americans, underestimating our earthquake.

I'm really tired today, didn't get to sleep till about half 2 and I feel terrible if I get less than 8 hours sleep. Something always seems to stop me getting a good night's sleep, although this time, there's no one else to blame.

i didnt feel it here in north devon. was it THAT bad?

To be honest, I'm finding it hard to say how bad it was, because I've never experienced an earthquake before, so I've got nothing to compare it to! When it was happening, it was pretty freaky, and seemed fairly serious. Looking back, maybe it wasn't that bad, I don't know. I suppose the fact that there was no serious damage/injuries shows it wasn't too bad.

To be fair it's probably more likely to be terrorists than an earthquake.

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

      Greg's time on breakfast

      By onlyME · Posted

      On July 8th Greg will surpass Grimmy's tenure on Radio 1 breakfast (5 years, 319 days) as the second-longest breakfast show presenter. He has already passed Tony Blackburn and Sim Mayo. I'm not sure if he will make Moyles' record of 8 years, 253 days, but he certainly still seems fresh and full of ideas!

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      I guess we'll have to wait and see when the new schedule kicks in, although I could see Scott staying where he is.  Assuming that's the case and there are no other moves, there would be several available studios for Matt & Mollie - 82C or 82E of the 'old' studios, and 82M or 82N of the new ones.

      The BBC commissioning brief mentions it is a 'mid morning show' for Radio 1 Dance https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/documents/comm_brief_r1_dance_morning_show.pdf

      Nothing to apologise about, I was just intrigued on how DS and UM react

      I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently!

      That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.

      I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lee E · Posted

      I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?

      Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Echo what most have said here. Connor has great energy which is important for that sort of slot and the shame for him is that the dance line-up is so strong that there's no obvious 'in' for him to get a regular slot -Danny, Sarah, Pete Tong, Arielle, Charlie Hedges, Jerry and Charlie Tee are all great in their slots. A live show on Radio 1 Dance really feels the obvious way to get a proper foot in the door at Radio 1. Although to be fair to the DS critic I think it was just the one poster and can very much hear Connor in my head saying 'in for the legend that is Charlie Hedges'.
