Anyone else feel it?
Thought both me and the dog had gone mad for a few minutes.

This made me chuckle (copied & pasted from The Beebs news site)...............In Cheltenham, Paul Samway said it felt like "a washing machine breaking down".
"We heard the walls crack and there was a bit of juddering,

Couple of other comments made me smile.
Louise Craig, from Connah's Quay in north Wales, said it was "the most excitement I've had on a Saturday afternoon for a while".
"I get a lot of fat wood pigeons jumping up and down on my chimney and I first of all thought the noise was them but they must have put on a heck a lot of weight to make the house shake,"

Felt it here in West Oxfordshire. Sat on the sofa when I felt it through the seat!! First thought was that my farts aren’t usually that powerful, but as there was no smell and the french doors did a wobble, thought thank god for that!I haven’t shat my shelf it must be an Earthquake ☺️

Didn't notice anything in east London but its so noisy all the time anyway with all the manic construction works it would have to be quite a major event to be noticeable above the usual noise levels. And being on water probably takes out the shock. And its miles and miles from wales. Nothing. Zilch. So disappointed

Nothing here. Have the Brecon Beacons risen by a tenth of a centimetre? I bet it's to do with Africa closing in on us and the Meditteranean Sea disappearing. We had an earthquake not long ago here, I thought it was the dustbin lorry coming up our road, bit of a rumbling. The only earthquake I have experienced. 4.1 magnitude, in the Gulf of Bothnia 46km from Piteå, 1155pm. We were in bed. 20th March 2016. yle.fi/uutiset/3-8756599

It wasn't much more than half a dozen bin lorries coming past at speed and all at once. Freaked me out a bit for a few minutes - I'm on 'edge' as today is the anniversary of my wife's death (also the anniversary of when we 'got together') which makes my head spin occasionally.
