Not a thing, guess I'm too far away.
Only one I ever felt was the one in 1999-2000?? near Arran (Scotland).
Place shook a bit and a few things fell off the shelfs.
From a Beebs at the Buh Buh See,
Earthquake hits much of England

There was a bit of noise here (Herts) but I don't think there was any damage.

Humm according to that site, it was felt in my town.
Then again it was that windy last night, and the building was rumbling goodo I might have just thought it was the wind.

We were just going to bed when it happened. A dull, far away rumble, getting more intense, then passing by making everything on the shelves rattle (I was in the bathroom)
My first thought was an empty lorry passing by (we live close to a main road) but as it 'wobbled' the house I knew it wasn't that! No damage in our area, as far as I know.

We're about 70 miles from the epicenter. We felt the house shake for a few seconds and things started rattling but no apparent damage.

The earthquake seems to have done more damage the further away you lived from it, according to some of the reports on the BBC!
