See charts the EUR and GBP during this period.
The correlation for these currencies, therefore in EUR/GBP slight movement.

The NFP announcement affected pairs with the dollar in them. Some pairs without a dollar, such as the EUR/GBP, don't move as much with a dollar announcement for obvious reasons.

Always check the Forex calendar at the beginning of every week for any incoming high impact events like the NFP or the BoE rate announcement, so you wouldn't get surprises like this.

Good advice, a classic one and always applicable, except of flash crashes.

Yes, that's right and that's why the economic calendar cannot help in being prepared for them, otherwise checking the news and their impact is very helpful. That was my point.
