The earth moved before breakfast this morning in the unusually named hamlet of Fryup. However most residents in the tiny community in North Yorkshire slept through the quake, which had a magnitude of 2.8. The British Geological Survey said there were no reports that anyone felt the earth shake at 5am. The earthquake was so deep it could only have happened naturally, it was understood, and was nothing to do with any human activity. Fryup is in the North York Moors National Park and has no pub or shops. Its unusual name was nothing to do with English breakfasts but was thought to be honouring the Anglo-Saxon goddess Frige.
