are you doing the round of applause for the NHS workers?

[flossyflorenceflounces]

We had a note through our door about this (good way to spread germs....) asking us to join in with a hand clap for NHS workers. Apparently we are supposed to stand on our door step at a set time and do a round of applause for them. At least 4 of my close neighbours will be getting children to sleep so I won't be doing it but will you?

I think it would be different if we all lived in little apartments with balconies but we live in an old semi with a long drive and Im too frickin breathless to walk down it to stand at a gate clapping for no one to see. My thoughts are with them though.

@MasakaBuzz really lovely gesture. I’m sure the district nurses were delighted.

Yes I will.

Sad and cringe and a ‘bit American’ ?

I give zero fucks. I donate. I’ll volunteer if I can. If a round of applause helps lift spirits when it hits tomorrow’s news bulletins, then yup I’ll make a twat of myself. Although, possibly like many on here, I’ve just been amazed and delighted when I’ve seen similar scenes of community in Italy and Spain.

It costs nothing.

Asked Dh and he said he’d donated to

Meals for NHS looks good.

I think I’d feel a right plum doing that.

Aren’t they all at work anyway?

They do it in Belgium. My exhausted just qualified doctor nephew was so touched when he heard it for the first time. He said it makes them feel valued

I won’t be doing it because I live in the country with no neighbours nearby .

But I have donated some PPE to the local hospital.

No. i dropped off cupcakes and chocolates to my local A&E this morning. My local Tesco is next door to The Royal Surrey Hospital close to where I live.

No, I’d be the only one in my street and would look like a cock. I’m also getting heartily fed up with all the virtue signalling.

This thread had made me laugh.

A much-needed dose of reality.

Virtual-signalling pile of cringe.

To be honest, with the day I’ve had at work today, if you clap at me in my way home I’m likely to turn violent. Please consider cooking me my dinner and giving me a box of glass of wine or making this all go away by tomorrow, would be much better. TIA.

it's for all key workers
I will be doing it
can't believe some of the attitude on here.

Anyway, surely it’s only worth doing if you’ve got a Sky News cameraman parked at the end of the road? I mean, if nobody sees you doing it, what’s the point?

No because I'm not a virtue signalling arsehole!

I’m going to have a look to see what’s happening but the street is quiet not sure who will see it

If a tree falls in a forest and nobody sees then did it really happen?

Wow! My DS has gone out to clap and I can hear a lot of people doing it!

No one in my street is doing it.

Nope.
DH has just looked out the window and not a sound 🙄

Same here
Was nice
Work next to paramedic and family doing it
I don’t feel bad

For doing it that is loads here

That was really nice

Suburban street in London. Some wanker just let off a firework - clapping was just not enough for him. (it will have been a him as well!)

I can hear people in our development clapping and cheering right now. It's nice, but also my 3-year-old just got to sleep, so you know.

Loads of people in my street did it, I am in the bath. Will probably get noted as the ungrateful house now
