Clap for NHS has lost the spirit.

[Lemonslices]

Please don't come for me and be nasty.

The first clap for NHS and others was so amazing and I can't believe everyone did it, I thought it would be a yearly thing or an NHS day each year.
(I made a decision to donate some money each year to them

I think the clap thing has lost the meaning and its seems silly to stand outside and clap. It's like a song that's been over played,

And after seeing the idiots clapping on the bridge has made it a joke.

Does anyone else feel the same

When is NHS day?

I will be interested to see the turn out this week with the wet weather!

Because it should never have been a weekly thing.
I mean.... Whe 's the last clap going to be? 🤷

I’ve never clapped. Doesn’t mean I value the NHS any less than those that do. I just think it’s all a bit ridiculous. It’s like a show to demonstrate to your neighbours how politically correct you are and pat yourselves on the back. I’ll get flamed but there you go.

Sick of it...is getting sycophantic now.

Plus one fucking mrs Hitler walks up and down the street each time checking everyone is out....she who has COPD from years if smoking.

so dont do it,
no one else will care op and others
it has to calm down

Just pointless Virtue Signaling that achieves nothing imo. And everyone on my street doing it does so in a group so defeats the whole point of self isolation

I don't clap and the singing and fireworks turn my stomach - hundreds of people are dying every day!

Please remember today is International Workers Memorial Day, every year we hold a minute silence at 11:00. This year we are particularly thinking of those who died from COVID-19 due to being infected at work.

Agree, it's lost the original meaning and is now just a competition for who can do the biggest or best display.

Ive just read they’ll be doing a minute silence for those who have died too.

Never clapped and won’t do that neither. Does not mean i don’t appreciate them.

Stupid virtue signalling nonsense.

I do something more useful. Donate blood, on the ‘responder’ volunteer program, make phone calls to vulnerable people on the local council’s list.

Clapping on my doorstep, 3 miles away from a town is not going to help or buoy anyone.

I don't like it. It feels very bandwagon-y. At tea time on Thursday I have to start planning my evening around it and clock watching as my street is very into it and they chant your house number then cheer when you come out it's fucking ridiculous.

I have family working in ICU here and in France. My best friend is a frontline worker recovering from coronavirus.
I've always posted in support of the NHS when it was being attacked regularly until a few weeks ago, but I don't like forced group activities like this that are totally pointless.

The first clap for NHS and others was so amazing and I can't believe everyone did it

I didn't do it, not intending to start either.

My neighbours doing all the mingling together clapped though.

I appreciate medical care when I've needed it but I don't need to stand outside clapping to show this.

and they chant your house number then cheer when you come out it's fucking ridiculous.
What the actual fuck? I’d hit the roof if my neighbours tried doing that to me.

I think a bigger pay cheque is more useful and deserved than a bloody clap.

I don’t think it should be every week. The first one, fair enough, and then one when we are out of the woods.

how terrible to call your house number

ours is far more reserved
although there are people live streaming their singing. perhaps this wont happen due to the forecasted rain this week
i love the singing though

Just clapping was ok but banging saucepans and using those annoying horns is just annoying. Thank god we are fairly rural! As for chanting peoples house numbers , what bunch of tossers.

@Normalmumandwife. What does the stupid bitch do exactly to those who aren't out clapping.
Drag them out by their hair.

@SouthernComforts That is horrific. I'd have to move house.

A man did a full on 'pub singer set' on a road near me. Loud enough for everyone all over our housing estate to hear.
The video was on FB after the event for everyone in town to see.
He pranced about as if he was the entertainment at Butlins.
Some people love the attention.
He didn't bother me but I don't think my friend who lives on his street & had lost her Dad that day, was in the mood for it much.

Fortunately our street is very reserved- most of us come out at 8, clap for exactly 1 minute, back inside and shut door - job done! I have issues with my neighbour doing it as they have flouted the guidance all the way through - mixing households, going out multiple times a day etc etc
I can't do with the pantomime that the general thing has turned into though - why is the fire service lining up outside hospitals?? Surely they should just clap from their station?? Same with the police - massive virtue signalling and waste of time and resources if you ask me!!

I suppose it is better than the street parties which I definitely do not agree with.

Yes! I do something more useful. Donate blood, on the ‘responder’ volunteer program, make phone calls to vulnerable people on the local council’s list

Do this instead. I haven't clapped but I am a local volunteer and my teen is trying to make her first blood donation (they've just cancelled the session though!). So many more things for people to do to support everyone's efforts.

Not bloody clapping.

Just go out for a walk at 5 to 8 @SouthernComforts
