An earthquake in Kent? A few months ago it was a tornado in Kensal Rise, now the ground trembles in Kent. I remember the first time I ever came to the US, in 2002, expecting that I'd feel a quake at some point in the Bay Area, visiting the infamous San Andreas fault, but not a dickie bird. then a couple of weeks after geting back to England, rrrrrummmbbllee, the house shakes a bit. Hmm, thought it was the neighbours. Then ten minutes later, on the radio, "hey, there was just an earthquake in the west midlands!" You sure? Straight up. Now, I've been living in seismically active California for almost two years, not a squeak, and then England gets one. Wow! Not that I'm saying I want one, of course. The idea of the earth swaying from side to side and unsettling the foundations of all the buildings around me isn't exactly on my christmas list, you know. I'm lucky too in that Davis isn't on a fault line, all the biggies are down in the Bay. But it just goes to show. I wonder if it has anything to do with Mr Blair's imminent departure from Downing Street, ten years on from the quake which caused New Labour's massive landslide in 97? Plate tectonics, mate, shifting sands and all that.
