Clapping for the NHS

[Penguin68]

Underhill South of Langton Rise went reasonably wild.

Grove Lane near Dog Kennle Hill scool and downwards very good at it we are pleased to say

[Langdale]

Middle of Friern Road near the church went crazy tonight.

[Siduhe]

Lots of neighbourly clapping by Underhill/Melford/Wood Vale - really good to hear and made me feel quite emotional.

Fair few on Therapia, I would have liked to see more."COME ON THERAPIANS"

Upland road there was clapping And underhill

I can't help thinking that with the way housing stock is set out in most of ED, that being at the doorstep, less than 2 metres apart on many streets is perhaps not so smart...

Maybe tweeting support would be a much better idea.

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

I did my clapping from my upstairs window away from everyone.

Hey, just to reassure you, ?doorstep? in this context was generally interpreted as ?outside house? rather than having to have your feet firmly planted on your doormat with no common sense or adherence to social distancing.. On our street and I imagine most other streets, we were able to share and enjoy showing our humongous appreciation and respect for the NHS workers on the coal face while still not ignoring the 2 metre guidance by simply standing outside our houses while maintaining the appropriate distance from our neighbours. Hope this Helps x

Personally, I'm incredibly appreciative of the NHS & it's workers, but there's no way I'd risk my or my wife's health by doing this it's ridiculously counter productive. Thankfully it's not happening on our street. I've signed up as a telephone volunteer, something that won't contribute to the spread of the virus & supports the NHS which the government continues to undermine & underfund.

se22cat - I think that's a bit of an exaggeration! If your neighbour has ventured into their front yard, then maybe stay inside the house. If the coast is clear, head out for a minute or so. Common sense..

All it required was a bit of common sense re the rules on distancing. Many in our street did it from an upstairs window. Those without common sense are probably better off remaining inside though.

Top part of Barry Road (near Etherow) last night - loud clapping and cheering for around 5 minutes, even the bus driver terminating outside church got out of his cab and stood on the road side clapping. People were either in their front gardens or standing on their doorstep. No problems with social distancing. Good atmosphere.

As the title suggests, it's clapping for the NHS and clapping for carers, who are risking their lives to try and save more from dying.

Landcroft Road and others were showing it's appreciation.
