28th even the tenth and final time ?
I think that's good, Johnny. It has served a purpose but things can begin to lose their true meaning and I think this is happening.
Yes, I agree , we can always thank them in our heats and minds now

my point I was high lighting two weeks ago
it seemed the emotion was starting to wane
I clapped once ,then had a word with myself when I realised that the very people we were clapping for were being charged fees to access the health service they work for.This is now no longer the case and rightly so.

Wonder just how many will continue to go outside and clap. I know that Annemarie Plas is the lady who got it all going but no-one has to stop just because she suggests it? Will be interesting to see what happens on 4 June?
We’ve never clapped but this by no means means that we don’t support or appreciate everything the NHS has done and continues to do.
Every Thursday at 8pm since this clapping started, we’ve pinged one of our frontline NHS relatives and sent something to make her smile, be it a photo, a joke, just telling her we love her.
We have five close relatives who are frontline, three of whom work 12 hour shifts in full PPE.
We also, both of us, looked into volunteering for the NHS but found they were overwhelmed with offers.
There are, in my opinion, far more useful and personal ways of supporting the NHS.
I’m glad it’s stopping before it becomes more about the clappers than it does the NHS.
I think like anything it will find its own level, streets and communities will decide for themselves as will individuals.

If last night here was any example there is a surfeit of fireworks around and someone is raking it in selling them.

Next week could be quite noisy.
No-one on my street has ever gone out to clap on a Thursday.but there are always a few fireworks being set off.
We've been clapping too every week and probably next Thursday will see an end. However when (?) we are not in lockdown anymore - we are having a street party. Some of the neighbours have begun a little organising and I can't wait.

There'll be balloons, food, drink and music and I hope laughter. I have made a little notice of the music I want played.

1. Please Release Me let me go
2. Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak tree
3. Somewhere over the Rainbow
4. You'll never walk alone.

There's loads more but that'll do for now LOL

Do you wanna come? LOL
Never saw the need to clap to show my appreciation.
Let me get this right, shaney.
You clapped
You found out the people you clapped had been charged fees
You stopped clapping?
No opinion one way or other .
