Have never ever felt a tremour.
I did, however, feel a tremor at 1122 hrs. today as confirmed by the seismograph reading at Keswick. I hope I haven't missed out on this tremour thing though....

I felt the tremor quite strongly at home in Kirkby Lonsdale. The building shook twice - felt like something had crashed into it!
