April Fool?

[echokilo]

BBC News have just announced a 2.2 earthquake in Blackpool overnight - I take it this is an April Fool? Anyone else think this is in very poor taste after the disaster in Japan???? Perhaps they should stick to spaghetti going on trees?? (For those of us old enough to remember!!!!

Come on Beeb!!!!

well that might get a ripple for a tsunami. We get them, earthquakes, frequently and Blackpool has been shaken a few times over the years. Largest I believe was about a 4.2 and I can remember feeling that one in the S Lakes, near Kendal.

More like an earth tremor no doubt. Maybe it was Musu Kusu shaking in his boots!

Maybe it was jackthehat lacing up her new corset that did it....
