Not at our house it isn't.

I just find it so bloody patronising. Didn’t do it last time, and wouldn’t dream of doing it now.

Angrymum22 · 06/01/2021 20:35

Like many others my neighbours fail to observe lockdown correctly. I’m tempted to start reporting them all anonymously if they dare to clap or give me a hard time for not joining in.

It's minus 4 here and people are breaking bones slipping on their own front path. I'm a "key worker" and this can fuck off.

Oh good all the seals will be out preforming on their door steps again. Womder if the grown woman across the road will be put dancing in the road again for everyone to film and put on facebook. Nice and icy this time though. Might be too dangerous.

No no no!

Plas, can take her marketing consultancy and shove it up her arse. Being mates with Carrie does not mean you have a platform.

Kindly fuck off dear.

Really, really hope it doesn't.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 06/01/2021 20:52

It’s not going to happen because it’s winter. Simple.

BlueBaubles12 · 06/01/2021 20:55

Jesus wept, just when I thought it couldn’t get any fucking worse.

Inkpaperstars · 06/01/2021 20:57

It just doesn’t seem right now, I am not sure why but it just feels out of step with where we are. Best thing to do for carers in the short time is to reduce contact and do your absolute best to drive cases down.

Desperado40 · 06/01/2021 20:58

No, never did it and never will. It really felt false, especially that we are in a tory stronghold. Hearing all the neighbours, may of which voted for all this shit with austerity, nhs pay cuts and general misery made me cringe. By the way, it looks like Rishi now found the magic money tree that Theresa believed did not exist... If only they didn't strip nhs to bare bones and made thousands of foreign nurses run for the hills with the hostile environment policy, we would be much better equipped to fight covid.

What a load of cockshite.

Coffeeislife04 · 06/01/2021 21:06

Nope won't be doing it they need a pay rise not people mixing and not social distancing like they did last time singing fireworks and watch me dance. Doesn't help key workers its a slap in the faceHmm

prettygreenteacup · 06/01/2021 21:10

DH just said he will go outside and bow on the street every Thursday Grin

Back at work tomorrow in my high contact job with no PPE. I won't feel like clapping for anyone - sorry I do appreciate what many others are doing out there though.
