Are you going to Clap for Carers tomorrow?

[Funkypolar]

It’s back under a new name “clap for heroes.”

Fuck that bullshit. Yours sincerely, a carer.

I find it curious that she speaks of 'we'. She was happy first time round to take sole ownership and credit for the event.
Anyway, with 1,162 tragic daily deaths, maybe let's focus on trying to reduce that whilst being quietly grateful for the efforts of everyone supporting that goal.

@XenoBitch

Hell no. Would rather press my arse to my front window for all to see.

Howling at this!!!

I swear to God above if the 11 year old s**t down the road gets up on his wall again and instists on blasting that bloody vuvuzela and wakes my 2 year old and 8 week old, I will stand outside his window at 1am and bang the biggest pot I own as loud as I can. See how happy he is with being woken up.

No.

No, I won't be clapping. This has nothing to do with my feelings about the people we are clapping for. It's because I cannot stand the hypocrisy of people like my neighbours who think that standing and clapping once a week somehow negates the fact that they have ignored pretty much every lockdown rule since last March. I will show my respect by doing as I have all along - avoiding all unnecessary contact with h others outside our household and hopefully staying out of hospital.

I feel sorry for the woman, but she's been rather naive bless her. Someone's always out to send death threats on twitter, comes with the territory. Hope 2021 picks up for her👏👏👏

No one here was put clapping like seals, thank goodness. They were very enthusiastic last time but Annemarie Plas needs to give it up now. She’s had her 15 mins.

Does anyone actually believe she’s had death threats and the like? She’s deleted her Twitter post saying we should bring it back - however I read through pretty much all the responses yesterday because I was curious. I did not see one death threat but I also did not see a single positive response (i read through about 2000ish+ responses - when I looked I think there was 2700 responses). I reckon she was just embarrassed that everyone thinks it’s a crap idea.

Thankfully didn't hear a single clap here. Literally just settled our toddler and the disruption would've buggered up his dad's evening and he's on an ambulance shift early in the morning. No more clapping!

Nobody in my street did it tonight. But they all did in the little cul de sac which leads off our street. They also decorated all their lamp posts at xmas and did competitive outdoor xmas decorations. They're fun...

Its below bastard freezing here set to be minus 8 tomorrow what good will it do me getting ill from standing on the doorstep clapping (and I will get ill im sodding prone to it)

Not a single person out here. It is minus 2 outside to be fair maybe that played a part .

A few of my neighbours were doing it. Very loudly too as if it might bring out others!

Not a single person on my road either

No clap here - relieved that the penicillin is still working.

No, and none of your street food either thankfully it's been recognised for the nonsense that it is. All that applies to covid, not enough staff, no available beds, "overwhelm" and people being cared for miles from home has been the case for mental health for years hence the prolific rise of private mental health facilities, the likes of which are funded by NHS and social care cash. No headlines or hand wringing or talk of angels there though.... Usually total decimation by the press and public about how shit mental health care is...

No claps in our village, although DH said whilst on his walk, one bloke was outside his house with a pan, then stomped back in when nobody else was doing it!
Awful if she has had death threats, but I also looked through the Twitter comments and agree she is probably mortified at the almost unanimous OMG no messages. She's been shown up to have really misread the mood of the nation and that must be embarrassing. I think she thought she'd be the nation's darling and it didn't go the right way this time, so saving face needed to be done.

Should say street DID not food! Food would have been far better!!

Just realised that it's 20 past 8 and didn't hear a single clap round here.

I didn't hear anything. If it wasn't for mumsnet i probably wouldn't even know about it

Nothing here. Doesn’t help that it’s totally freezing. Also, it’s bollocks.

No, it’s patronising and very cold

Didn’t hear anything at all here, hopefully it’ll be forgotten about by next week

Someone set off a firework here at 8pm. Not only are there the obvious issues with frightening animals/PTSD sufferers/waking up children etc, what if it had gone wrong and they needed medical attention from paramedics/nurses/doctors? They’d really appreciate having to go out and treat someone in a pandemic (having to get close enough to treat their injuries) and using up resources and beds when it was completely avoidable, all in the name of “Thank you NHS”. Is it me?!

no no no no no no no no no no no no NO

I think that covers it
