I have to admit that I rang the police myself... on account of worrying that (a) it was a gas explosion, or (b) I'd gone bananas. It wasn't a long conversation.
Me: Erm... sorry to trouble you, but I think... Did we just have an, erm, sort of earthquake in Kenilworth?
Him (bored, unsurprisingly, as it'd taken me a few minutes to get through...): Yes Ma'am, we understand that there has been some sort of local tremor.
Me: Erp. OK. Sorry about that. I'll leave you to it, then.
Him (really bored now): *Thank* you.
I wasn't planning on suing him for not offering to come round and kiss it all better, mind you. Missed a trick, obviously. Still, we all know that the BBC is an asshat magnet for the green ink brigade.
Oh... Grac, is an early Saturday in October any good for you? Contingent on the rain-of-blood-and-toads forecasts for the month ahead, naturally.
