Earthquake in Grimsby

[Tashyboy]

Probably cleaned it up. 😳

Lot of couples apparently asking their partners if the earth moved for them.

Apparently damage to the value of £5 was reported

A rumble in the jungle...

I'd heard it had caused about 2 million pounds of improvements..........

Investigators have concluded that all is well in Grimsby, it always looks like that

Karma for Youngs stealing the 450 Annan jobs.:angry:

They're not stealing jobs. They're still an employer in the area and also other sites in Scotland. All they're doing is closing 1 site and moving operations to Grimsby. And the other site in that area dealing with Scampi production they're creating 50 new jobs.

So yes whilst very unfortunate that there will be redundancies in Annan, how can Grimsby be 'stealing' those jobs when it's the same company?

It has been reported that the EU are going to investigate Grimsby's new method of fishing.

You should see the photos I've got of Grimsby town centre, it's a mess, it's depressing, it just looks beyond any help. Just wondering, has anyone got any pictures from after the earthquake?

I think the £1.3m grant [bribe] from the Westminster government seemed to seal the deal.

£1.3 m spent to lose 450 jobs in Annan and create 200 jobs in Grimsby. Does that make sense.:angry:

Any credible source for the £1.3m.....and not Wings?

Bearing in mind that the Scottish Government operate their own EU funding programmes.

Type '£1.3m grant to Youngs Grimsby' into Google and take your pick.:thup:

FYI...I have no beef with the very rich company of Youngs...….just the reason why Westminster gave them a [cough] grant.

Yep found that ta.

Rather than blame Westminster why don't you question why the Scottish Government use their own regional development fund to give them a (cough) to stay!! 😉

There seems to be a number of larger (by UK standards) earthquakes happening these days. Is there any particular reason for the plates shiftng more often

Our lass washes the dishes more these days, could that be a cause?

Homer for a year or two the most volatile place for earthquakes in the UK was Ollerton in Nottinghamshire. Nowt to do with my now shut pit 😳allegedly. There were hundreds. Yet folk still seem to think it will be ok to frack in the same area where hundreds of earthquakes have occured.

It’s not the tectonic plates shifting that cause earthquakes in the UK as we are nowhere near any plate boundaries. Its minor slippage on old fault lines.

Also, I suspect that there are no more earthquakes here than before. There are hundreds of minor ones every year, it may be that more are getting reported.
