Minor Earthquake in Kent

I'm not. I do recall the other minor earthquake that hit the UK about 4 years ok (the epicentre was near Birmingham, UK, if I recall correctly). I hope this doesn't become more frequent, although it isn't totally surprising as the UK is actually moving away from France at something like 1cm a year. I was asleep when it happened (7am BST / 2am EST), but I know some people from work felt the one from a few years ago. The thing that does worry me about earthquakes is the shelves coming down and damaging my computer books, manuals etc. (ok, obviously I don't want to get injured either, but I'm trying to keep this on-topic) I'm not sure we get any earthquake training in schools here, though I think it would be a good idea. We may not get many of them here in the UK, but it would be useful for when people are on holiday in the US or Japan (or anywhere else that gets earthquakes). I recall being told at school (about 12 years ago) that the safest place was in a doorway. Is that still thought to be true?
