To think that this clapping is getting out of hand!?

Nhs, children and now Boris...ffs let's just stand at our door all evening clapping!! How ridiculous!!

Nobody is clapping for anything apart from the NHS here.

Yeah it's annoying and unnecessary. I don't think anyone actually did the clapping for the kids thing - at least they didn't near me even though it was plastered all over our local FB page.... and so I think (hope) the Boris Johnson one will come to nothing too. Just someone starting this nonsense on social media and hoping it gains momentum I reckon.

Oh yes the clapping police, the village WhatsApp group has been very vocal about how disappointing it was that not all residents were participating. Queue lots of replies from retail workers on shifts, parents saying it’s children’s bedtime and someone pointing out that their 90 year old mother shouldn’t be standing for too long as she had both hips replaced earlier this year. The pomposity has reduced significantly after that.

It's all very stupid.

I clapped for the nhs but I'm not going to clap today.

Yup. Getting a bit into the realm of group-hysteria now.

The requirements to join in that some people are reporting sound a bit like all those totalitarian dictatorship countries that we are nothing like and are far superior to.
