I don't believe in mysterious warnings but, i think i might be giving it a little thought, if i lived there.

Very scary and also very lucky.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

The one from a few years ago is a bit of a clue - the angry giant is slowly getting closer.

How much would those weigh?

Hundreds of tons each I guess.
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

When I saw this on the BBC website it straight away reminded me of a house that I used to pass on visits to Derbyshire.
On the B5057 Darley road when heading SW from Chesterfield. The back of the house was built below a huge rock outcrop which seemed to sit only just above the roof. :shock:

I just checked it out on Streetview to remind me of just how it was...but decided not to post up the photo of a n others property.

There is a large rock formation on the moor above Ilkley (of "baht' hat" fame) called the Cow and Calf. The "Cow" is part of the bed rock, but the "Calf" appears quite unrestrained. If that broke loose, it would certainly demolish a fair number of houses on its way down into the valley! I hope it never does!
