A thread to show some love for the less-recognised key workers

[Dyrne]

Don’t get me wrong, I think all the recognition and praise for the NHS, Teachers, Delivery drivers and shop workers are bloody well deserved; and it’s right that they should be thanked for keeping going right now.

It’s just sometimes I get a little sad for my colleagues who do an ‘invisible’ job people don’t even really think about, but is critical to keep the country functioning.

So can we have a little love here as well to show some appreciation for:

Utility Workers (Gas, Electric, Water, Broadband)
Bin men
Those who volunteer with the vulnerable (food banks, befriending, citizens advice)
Postmen
Plumbers, electricians etc
Vets
Mechanics, roadside assistance
Police, Fire, Coastguard, Lifeboat
Early Years workers (nurseries, childminders, nannies)

Has anyone got any others to add?

@CMOTDibbler thinking of you

My DH also works for a family run funeral director. Making arrangements for funerals is never easy, but the current circumstances are absolutely terrible for families.

I want to say my thanks to other key workers - who are working so incredibly hard and harder still in difficult circumstances

@AwkwardSquad thank you, and thanks to everyone placing themselves and their families at risk at this difficult time, so many hidden roles that all play a huge part
