Nope. Engine noise generally rattles the windows more. In this case it was more focused on the floor. I probably dreamed it, although very small earthquakes are apparently quite commmon in London. My only slight worry is that I may have actually been shaking rather than the floor.

From Wikipedia:

"Delirium tremens can sometimes be associated with severe, uncontrollable tremors of the extremities and secondary symptoms such as anxiety, panic attacks and paranoia. Confusion is often noticeable to onlookers as individuals will have trouble constructing simple sentences or making basic logical calculations. In many cases, people who rarely speak out of turn will have an increased tendency for gaffes even though they are sober."


Sounds like my biography. Not much of a drinker though. Having given it some more thought, I am inclined to blame our plumbing. Sorry about the unnecessary posting. My solipsistic experience of East Dulwich is probably not of general interest.

OMG a few weeks ago I woke in the middle of the night to what felt like an earthquake. I got up the next morning thinking that it would be reported on the news, but to my surprise there was nothing. My bf told me that I was going mad and i believed him lol.

I am soo happy that other people are just as mad as me and feel the imaginary earthquakes!

Bear in mind that if an out of service bus runs along Wood Vale nearish the Horniman after midnight (which I believe they're not supposed to do), it can seem to make the place shudder slightly.


...although perhaps the monster hunts buses so that's when it's most active...

    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
