• Yeah but if you were knackered after 16 hours on the front line and you were self medicating gin in front of Salvage Hunters and all your neighbours gave you a round of applause for staying at it despite the overwhelming grimness of it all - you’d feel a bit more appreciated no?

    • I will not be the first one clapping on my self centred little street at 8pm tonight but if I can hear a massive ovation rolling over the rooftops I may lose my shit.
  • Maybe if you know a neighbour who works in the NHS you could post a thank you note through their door (just don't sneeze on it first), or if you see them in the street/hallway you can say thank you in person (from a safe distance). Clapping out the window is a dumb idea from dumb people, it's because they saw a video of some people doing it in Italy.

  • Shoot me down if I have this wrong, but isn't this up there with 'Bung Big Ben a Bob for a Bong' levels of patronising?
    The NHS need: Trained staff, PPE, people staying indoors - (amongst other things obvs).
    Not aimed at you @Sumo obvs.
