I really hope my road doesn't. I hate all these enforced cheer things and honestly think poor to. Must be feeling quite overwhelmed and embarrassed by all the attention at this point .

Sirzy · 29/04/2020 19:57

Nope.

He has done a fantastic thing raising so much money but I do think the hero worshipping has gone a little too far now!

Isadora2007 · 29/04/2020 19:57

No.

P0lka · 29/04/2020 19:59

No. Cringy as hell.

Floralnomad · 29/04/2020 20:01

Definitely not .

OhhhPeee · 29/04/2020 20:01

I may be being dense, but I just don’t get this whole adulation. He did a nice thing walking up and down his garden. Apparently he has an agent now. Why?

Thighmageddon · 29/04/2020 20:05

Good god no.

dementedma · 29/04/2020 20:05

No

bobstersmum · 29/04/2020 20:06

Is the Captain likely to hear you?

WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 29/04/2020 20:08

I very much doubt my road will but some might .

Getting less out there each week.

iklboo · 29/04/2020 20:09

Jesus no.

FourTeaFallOut · 29/04/2020 20:10

No. Like the pp, I'm sick of this prevailing affectation in which the epidemic is spun into a pantomime performance for light relief.

heartsonacake · 29/04/2020 20:11

Good god no.

coffeeagogo · 29/04/2020 20:11

Not a chance

Chesneyhawkes1 · 29/04/2020 20:11

I live 10 mins drive from him so I'll be looking out for his flypast 👍🏻

AdoptedBumpkin · 29/04/2020 20:12

Not many do the NHS clapping so probably not. Best wishes to him, mind.

DubiousGoals · 29/04/2020 20:12

Christ no. Won't be singing 'We'll meet again' on 8th May either.

Anotheruser02 · 29/04/2020 20:14

Nah.

ItsGoingTibiaK · 29/04/2020 20:16

Yuk.

Willow2017 · 29/04/2020 20:16

This is why I dont do facebook!

1066vegan · 29/04/2020 20:20

Dear God , no. That Facebook link was toe-curlingly embarrassing. Why do people who want to do this stuff always need to film themselves?

Plus I don't live anywhere near him so he wouldn't hear me and it would be completely pointless.

Slave2love · 29/04/2020 20:25

Hell no

Samtsirch · 29/04/2020 20:26

Blimey I hope not.
Life’s hard enough as it is at the moment.

PerplexingWords · 29/04/2020 20:27

Good grief no. He has done an amazing thing but no.

hiredandsqueak · 29/04/2020 20:28

God no, only the die hards bothered clapping after the first week, don't expect anybody out this week tbh.
