Me too. Whole computer desk and monitors rocked around for 2-5 seconds!

First thought was I'd upset a neighbour or Buncefield had "gone orf" again.

yep felt here in Market Harborough, South Leicestershire as well...

Scoob all ok, phew as I'm selling it - not sure how much I'd get for a earthquake damaged scooby??

BBC says 4.2 on the richer scale, epicentre in Hull.

Cheers,
Chris.
