An Earthquake Shakes Britain!

Britain was shaken by a huge earth tremor at 12.56am yesterday morning. Apparently, this is the first earthquake to hit Britain since 1984. The epicentre of the tremor, measured 5.3 on the Richter scale according to the British Geological Survey, was centred on the village of Holton cum Beckering, about 15 miles northeast of Lincoln. Luckily, no injuries were reported.
Some disturbing news for British people, without a doubt!

I have been entertaining some crazy (very mean!) thoughts ever since hearing the news:

1- If Britain was a target of shaky earth-quaky activities; would that mean that it’s very likely that Britain will start receiving humanitarian aid to support the British families during crisis. A la the aids usually carried out by the British themselves abroad! Some people from across the globe will be sitting watching their Tele (with or without a cup of tea), and really feeling sorry for the Brits’ suffering!

2- Why the biggest British Geological Survey Centre is located in Edinburgh is beyond me! Usually, very important centres and vital corporations are mainly based in England. Will this sudden turn of earth-quaky events mean that this VITAL centre will be shipped (Via Royal Mail) down south? Some serious funding might as well be pouring into the hands of geoscience researchers. Eventually, a centre dedicated for the study of seismographic activities would come in more “handy”!

3- The British have been “Cool” for so many years, this is the very first time I heard that they actually took to the streets. They’re usually too drunk to be concerned. The politics, the muddles, the ripping-off prices and taxes, never shock them a bit. May be its high time they sober-up, and ditch the pints, and the apathetic mentality for a change!

4- Will the End of British lands be a consequence of earthquakes that will sink the British aisles to the bottom of the sea (a la the great ATLANTIS), defying all odds and predictions of sea levels rising; global warming and the such. Richard Branson and Al Gore will be really crossed!

5- The poor pensioners and tax-payers will be gutted over a traumatizing new worry: Earthquake Insurance! Moneysupermarket.com will be celebrating new profits for sure.
