At 8pm ...It's the final time

[jonny142]

...to show your appreciation to all the keyworkers who do nights by waking them up early again ..

[fido]

Ah, god .. I've gone out every Thursday to avoid the claps! I might go for a jog in a minute .. it's quite motivating to be clapped at as you jog past complete randoms doing seal impressions.

I did read "baa baa clap sheep" the other day, which cracked me up but I suspect everyone else baa me has heard it before.

Must be like you're winning the London Marathon

Surely now we have the highest death toll in Europe we should boo the NHS?

I’d better go out to clap now, we have a count to check that all of the neighbours are still alive!
Gin O’Clock, will quite miss it TBH

I’ll be pissed off if I catch it badly now. At least the hospitals are still quiet.

I slipped up a couple of weeks back, hadn't noticed the time and the dog was pestering me for his evening walk. So I obliged, only a few yards into it and everyone is out clapping as we walk past.... felt really awkward. Not made that mistake since.

My wife forgot one week and was at the supermarket, she was at the checkout and there was an announcement and everyone stood there clapping for 2 minutes looking uncomfortably at each other.

It's when you run past and grab the mug of tea out of their hands that they object to.

Not sure how you come to that conclusion. If you want to boo someone then boo our incompetent leaders who changed tack several times pre-lockdown and continue to flounder.

I was just going to post that every single death is the fault of Boris Johnson.

I think I need to get off Facebook.

The clap has been quite well observed in the SE London terraced street where I live. Tonight was definitely quite low-key by comparison with previous weeks which supports my view that as soon as the media announces that a change is on the cards, people start behaving as if it's all ready happened.

Blaming the NHS for Coronavirus deaths is a bit like blaming the bodywork repair industry for road accidents!

I agree, went for a walk with my dog this evening and it does seem a bit like lockdown’s over.
