Tremors felt in Glasgow I'm afraid..........

............. which is surprising - as the residents are usually pissed up or smacked up by that time of night, so they wouldn't normally feel anything.........

Curiously, I was awake and sitting up in bed when it struck. Looked at my watch and it was just about 12.55am, started off with a gentle kind of shake whioch then progressed onto a quite a rumble, felt the whole house shaking!!
