Clapping in perpetuum

I’m just wondering... when will the last clap be?

Who will tell us?

Do we just keep clapping at the sky forever?

Is it like being the first one to clap, someone will need to take the hit and be the last one?

I took the cat out yesterday and told him everyone was clapping for him.

Of course, I may be going mad.

Still clapping here in Essex.

*@ChocolateTea I don't clap

When my neighbour who had the party till 130am and then different people in their garden every two days goes out to clap loudly I know it's a joke now.*

I don't understand how they can even show their faces during the clapping, I would find it mortifying. It's not like anything goes unnoticed atm.

I don’t clap; I’m a retired nurse and I find it patronising and trite especially when so many ignore restrictions and seem to treat it like it absolves them from being covidiots.
As for the arse along the road with his megaphone 😡😡

Along with many previous posters I clapped the first week and it felt emotional and a lovely thing to do. Heart sank when it was announced was to be a weekly thing!
Didn’t clap again but neighbours in surrounding properties did...all peering at our house and following up with messages ‘where were you?’ Etc. Resisted peer pressure but have now fallen out with one neighbour who told me it is noted I do not clap and everyone has been commenting on it!! It is become an activity that started off with good intentions but like with many of these things, humans managed to turn into a competitive and dividing activity.
