Think this will/can grow. Either it's going to become even more obvious how much we rely on the NHS or, hopefully, it won't and time to say thanks for all the unseen work.
It was a very good thing to do tonight - and at least in our neck of the woods is likely to be a weekly event.
True it is just symbolic, and doesn't put resources and help in the hands of NHS workers and other front line services.
But as a gesture it was very emotional - and likely to grow.
In our street about 30% took part - clapping, a few fireworks, waves and clenched fists. It brought people together when the lockdown had separated them, and we all felt we were sharing something (appreciation, values, a message) that is important.
Ashamed to say I was in the middle of a phone call and so couldn't join in, I hope it becomes a regular event in the next few weeks.
I live in a house where you rarely see your neighbours. However, while out clapping for the NHS last evening when the applause ended around 8-10 neighbours were observed to be gathered together socially within close contact of each other. While I opted out of socialising others didn't. If that conduct is replicated on a wider scale the object of the exercise seems pointless. Let's hope others are more sensible.
Rather than clapping be much better not to panic buy and strip our supermarkets dry.
and maybe donate a hand picked hamper for a poor low paid soul in our NHS.
I’ve got to be fair everyone to a man stood up and applauded in the pub I was in
It's not just NHS staff.
No deliveries, no treatments.
Delivery workers deserve applause too so we should do something special for them.
Amazon - clap at some time between 9am and 6pm
Hermes - clap in a bush. You might find half the undelivered parcels too.
DHL - stand in the driveway of a really dodgy neighbour who under no circumstances is to take in any parcels for you and clap.
I thought the clapping was due to me not tying the belt of my dressing gown.
