It woke my parents and a couple of pictures fell off the wall. I slept right through it.

Now estimated as 5.2 which is pretty substantial for the UK

Woke me up, thought somebody was shaking my bed and set the dogs off barking just about 1AM

I honestly thought,Waking from deep sleep,I'd left my mobile on and it was vibrating next to my bed.

Turned over and resumed my kip.
NO quotes needed thanks

It woke me up just before 1am in Leicester with my wardrobe doors rattling like crazy and a mirror fell off a shelf in the bathroom but didn't break though.

I had the pleasure to be awake and hear it coming. The windows rattled for quite a few seconds before the real tremmors got underway.
We had a ~4 a few years back here in Warwickshire, but that didn't have as much energy as this one.

The last big one we had (84?) I also recollect - I got up the next day eager to talk about it and everyone I met thought I'd dreampt it!
