Manchester Earthquake

[Ian]

Just before lunch time I thought a car had bumped into our building, it gave a bit of a shudder but there was nothing around... very strange.

Turns out it was a mini earthquake, but not as powerful as the ones a few years ago:

Sounds very interesting

dont think we have had something like this in London

where abouts in Manchester you from Admin?

Disdbury and failsworth is it?
I have heard of them before 200 miles away from here! lol

I'm right in the city centre more or less, Didsbury is about 20 mins away - really nice there though

 

[psd99]

nice one

would you say it is a posh part of manchester?

 

[Ian]

Not really - Didsbury, Wilmslow and Alderly edge are the posh parts. The city centre is pretty much all ok, not posh but not bad either. Great fun for going out in though

oh right cool
I was asking about Didsbury itself.

You ever been to a place called Failsworth?

I love that name
it just makes me laugh.

I done a few journeys on the motorway M1, M5 and M69 come to mind.
Some of the names I came across still make me laugh.

Failsworth and Smokington spring to mind.
Who would want to name a place called FAILSworth?
