Just though I'll let you know

[jadey0891]

Thought I'd let you all know about tomorrow.. stay safe

Is this actually a real fucking thing??
Seriously? Are we to spend the rest of our lockdown, stood on our doorsteps clapping for people??

Oh please. Don’t be ridiculous.

@Muchtoomuchtodo hear hear

We appreciate children just about all the time - how many of us are home educating (through no fault of the teachers who are supporting us and doing a great job) and giving them our all?

I just think any extra clapping we do dilutes their affect of the clapping for the NHS - which was lovely as a one off but is now diluting itself.

Personally I’m trying not to let my kids dwell on it too much so by clapping it feels like saying ‘by the way you should be really struggling right now’...which they aren’t.

I think this'll probably build kids' character, they'll learn more about having a sense of duty to society and discipline and stuff.

Clapping for the kids, are you having a laugh? The NHS was a good one however I think that was a few weeks premature as they will need a bigger round of applause once the strain starts showing across the whole system. What are we clapping for next? Pets?

Wow some of your comments are appalling.

Were you looking for Netmums, OP?

More virtue signaling.

Clapping for the NHS as one off to show appreciation was a great idea and it seemed that many people joined in.
But Clap for kids.
Clap ffs

I’m glad we’re pretty much all agreed on this

We are supposed to be keeping save not to overwhelm NHS but like this we will all soon end up in there with fucking clapping injuries!

😂😂😂

I work in the Nhs and this is cringe worthy op.

Am gutted there was no vote enabled.

what do you mean shine a torch#? what have i missed now

I feel a bit sorry for the OP because she obviously didn't get the memo that the clapping shite isn't going down very well on here, but at the same time I was cackling the minute I clicked the thread and saw the picture. I just knew what the response was going to be...

Surely it’s ‘in a blink of an eye’ not ‘at the blink of an eye’?
Anyway, just no. It’s all getting a bit silly now.

already got a thread about this

Honestly who thinks of this bollocks?
I had a look at the FB group about clapping for people, 140k members (thankfully not me, it's public so you can read the idiotic posts) and what a load of nonsense. I expect it's all of the 'Army' lot who were out being ridiculous at Alder Hey, they wanted blood from the NHS staff then and now all of a sudden they are angels. That virtue signalling bandwagon must be getting mighty full of shit

This pandemic is sadly bringing out the worst in people. I know it's understandable (time of unimaginable stress) but it's so horrible to see in action.

Bonkers! The Nethuns would love that shit though, it’s that way>>>

Oh sweet Jesus

Oh good grief, what an utter load of wank.

Children can be helped to understand what's going on by, oh I don't know, their parents telling them maybe?

@EricaNernie there is a FB group called "Shine a Light" for Coronavirus.

I shall say no more, just go and have a mooch round it.
