A distinct lack of earthquakes
Last Friday night, there was an earthquake here. A pretty decent one. Not proper big, not scary, but could definitely feel it, know what it was etc. And what did we do? We slept through it! I was so utterly wiped out from the end of the first week of work and Husbink was recovering from a wee gastro bug he'd acquired at work and we were dead to the world. And I'm not sure we are going to live it down! A number of people on feeling the earthquake thought "Ooooh! It's their first one! I wonder what they thought?" And have asked us. And we've had to disappoint them all by telling them the truth. Hey ho...I'm sure we'll get another chance to experience one while we are here, just as long as it's not "The Big One" (apparently, it's overdue...)

They could think that you and Husbink are well 'ard, and that it takes more than a little earthquake to scare (or wake) the two of you.
You are doing a great service to the image of Brits all 'round the world (and I suspect you didn't even realise this!).

P - Maybe! Perhaps it is an image we should cultivate...then again, after some of the injuries Husbink has seen inflicted on well 'ard types in A&E...
And very intrigued by your second comment! But it is a lovely comment so shall take it happily and keep the intrigue in check!
Scouse - Hurrah for you being here at last! :) We shall keep you informed of our second earthquake experience!
Mwah Mwah
