Everyone ready for the 10th and last round of applause before we as a nation move into other (hopefully financial!) expressions of gratitude. 🙂🙂🙂
 
I am. 🙂
 
Ah so sad its the final one but all good things must come to an end.
 
I won’t be out there. What are we clapping for - presumably it’s the heroic efforts of NHS England to cope in the face of under supply of PPE and ventilators. Or is it for the dead carers in nursing and care homes? Or the English government incompetence that has killed so many people?

Go ahead out there and clap. But think about what you are clapping for.
 
Well - some of us do and have all along @mikeyB - mainly always been fond of the NHS generally - even though criticising it when it deserved criticism - but it has/had got more efficient over the years so mainly successive Governments failing to provide the wherewithal once they got rid of the old, dyed in the wool, old wood.

Well that was very nice. A good turn out and good feelings, but broad agreement that it was right to call it a day.
 
We got ours sorted Mike saucepans took a battering and we are lucky enough to have a Soprano who raised her voice in the gardens and gave us a magnificent song, well done everyone.
 
I banged my handfork on the garden gate as usual, making a noise for NHS brave peoples carrying on working instead of deserting their posts when staring death in the face and also for bus drivers getting me to the shops and binmen emptying the wheeliebins and the taxidrivers including the one clingfilmed into his seat lol and the milkman and people in general. They never fail to amaze me despite the quota of numpties, what's left is pure gold. 🙂

All that is out of our control Mike, least we can do is show our gratitude to those on frontline, risking their own health to serve others.

Clapping was loud in neighbourhood, sad its ended but can see reason why.
