Clapping

[smokescreen]

Wait I just realised. No clapping today. What happened? Did everyone know?

The TV did the usual pause of programmes for the clap.

Everyone clapped here

We clapped. I'm sort of over it but on the day Boris stopped charging foreign healthcare staff for working here I'm glad we're still clapping

I don't get it, I don't understand it. And the fireworks and the sauspan banging, for god's sake if you must clap do just that, but the noise showboating is irritating at best.

Our NDN's are the only ones still clapping here.

I say clapping, it was a vuvuzela followed by the kids arguing over who gets the vuvuzela. There was, in truth, absolutely no clapping whatsoever.

The neighbours clapped and are now sat out on the pavement with 4 friends, having a bbq again

More people than ever clapped by me tonight, ironic as they were also the ones having a huge VE day party with all their families who they don't live with not long ago

Clapping here. I hate it as it's so forced now but have to do it else I'd be the talk of the village.

I did a straw poll and my friends feel the same. I'm stopping as of now.

The clapping started of as a nice thing but now it's just people shouting and screaming, kids running around and people banging saucepans for no apparent reason. And the loudest offenders seem to be my neighbours who have people over and/or BBQs every bloody weekend. In fact I think most people on my street have decided they are going to flout the rules on a regular basis now so I've noticed!

All the hypocrites were clapping here.

Oh god /here it's on now -fireworks/ klaxons: weird instruments brought back from 'travels' in Indonesia etc/ car horns -inevitably followed by barking dogs (poor mutts)

In a lot of streets it was for the last time tonight.

Lol the only family who clap on my street who have ignored social distancing and have people over all the time.

Tonight was the last clap.

About the same number out here tonight.

I think it's nice to 'see' the neighbourhood out, it's nice knowing people are around.

Not sure what will happen next week, but I'll go out & see. No one can declare itself the last one' it'll be whatever each street/neighbourhood decides

Very few out in my street tonight.

I think it was a nice gesture as a one off but should never have become a weekly thing.
