The news that Brits are living on shaky ground comes after a 4.6 quake struck in Wales last week, and was reported to be the strongest to have hit the UK in 10 years.

The British Geological Survey has registered the specific location of the quake to be the village of Cwmllynfell near Swansea.

BGS figures show that four others struck in Cwmllynfell the same day.

The 4.6 quake at 2:31pm was followed by a 1.8 quake at 2.35pm, a 1.2 quake at 3.09pm, a 1.5 quake at 4.27pm and a 2.2 quake at 11.17pm.

I had no idea they were on a fault.

:worried: I don't think stone edifices take to earth-quaking.

Must be their ... fault. :smirk:
