Mr WB was blissfully unaware, having imbibed several bottles of Efes with friends earlier.
That reminded me of the first biggie that happened while I was in Turkey.
Half past eight on a Sunday morning, stuff flying everywhere in the apartment, the whole site outside with the usual everyone shouting/talking/screaming at once, dogs barking like crazy, kids wailing... never felt/heard a thing courtesy of several large yerli gins at Car Cem not that many hours previously.
It was pretty localised to Karagozler, no-one in town had even felt a slight tremor.
Sitting on the terrace that evening, the first aftershock sent me sliding along the terrace for 2m. Being on the third floor, I decided that I'd had enough fresh air and went to the pub instead. Again, nothing felt in town.
