I think the clapping is getting a bit much. It feels like everyone is trying to outdo each other to prove they care the most.
It was a beautiful gesture at first but now I feel its less about showing appreciation and more about showing off |

It's all a load if bollocks anyway. At this point they're martyrs, not heroes.
Give them proper equipment and wages.
Clapping the NHS is something you do to impress your neighbours, like strapping on your poppy you've had for 10 years.
If you vote Tory and clap the NHS you're a mug. |

Getting right on my nerves now, just people banging on pots and pans trying to out do two doors down.. I'd rather the clappers pissed off and petition the government to give all NHS staff a tax break for a year and a payrise |

Far easier to show off to your neighbours about how great a person you are than petition your MP.
It's disgraceful tbh. |

Agreed. We've got fireworks. One, where are they getting them, two, the sun's not down, three, I know damn well many NHS workers loathe fireworks because of the injury potential. |

We've got fireworks on our road too, and a couple of houses seem to have massive outdoor speakers. Quite literally just about who can make the most noise now. |

I clap. And I'll keep clapping. Some people are dicks. My not clapping wont stop them being dicks. I'm not sure why I wouldn't show appreciation for NHS staff and carers just cos Johnny bigballs down the road uses it to remind the neighbours he's a massive knob |

I'm definitely not condemning anyone clapping. |

We think the first week the clap was done was a lovely heartfelt gesture, now it has become too much and is just expected, and has lost it's original meaning/value.
It's like if someone bought you flowers out of the blue it would be a lovely surprise, but if they then bought you flowers every week at the same day/time it would loose it's appeal/special-ness. |

As someone working with positive covid patients, i dont clap. Nor do i appreciate my neighbours doing so when i am off on a Thursday. What i would appreciate? Campaigns so care workers get a LIVING wage, not minimum wage. To be able to report and have consequences to those that physically and verbally abuse care workers. |
