Sorry for the stupid question, but earthquakes are pretty rare in Wales?

I slept through it! In a very, very technical sense south Wales is relatively geologically active compared to the rest of the UK, but we never get quakes over about 5.5, and they are still pretty damn rare, like 70 between 1720 and now! This was was 3.7 I think, so pretty mild all things considered.
