Show you support

Tonight at 8pm can you all either stand on doorsteps or open a window and clap and cheer as loudly as you can for all the frontline workers - NHS staff, carers, food and medicine delivery drivers, shop workers and anyone else on the frontline, risking their own lives to makes yours better.

Absolutely brilliant, everybody at there doors clapping and cheering, and fireworks.

Made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Same here Basil..all very moving.

Certainly was, i think a lot of people felt the same way

Trust you Tonks.

There's always one that will ruin such a serious thread to seek attention

That's just Tonks Basil.

I no, but not on such a serious thread, noooooo

Basil,really if you think about it..it's a happy thread with all the streets
applauding.

Haha, Tonker you tinker!

It is, but there's always one who lowers the tone for the sake of attention.

Come on Basil..let's not spoil your thread.

It was spoiled the moment plonker posted.

No it wasn't Basil..it's a good thread.

Shut up, Brush, or I'll send the boys round to put your yed down the bog and flush the chain!

Thanks to everyone working in our wonderful N.H.S !

Hear, Hear.

Hear, hear Certacito.

Britain will cheer EVERY Thursday at 8pm for NHS

Copy and pasted from fb👍👍

we should be cheering for all key workers. Those serving us in supermarkets, those looking after key workers' children in schools, those delivering food and fuel, those keeping gas, electricity and clean water flowing.

It’s the least we can do basil, as you say it was emotional, and yes let’s keep it going, the amount of people who honoured the NHS and Carers with the appreciation was brilliant

Brought a tear to my eye to be standing at our door clapping with our neighbours.

Well I forgot and thank goodness so did all out street.

The people who get involved in silly things like this probably watch Britain got Talent and the Voice.

Oh dear

I hope they do it again,it must have been wonderful for all who work for our NHS.

Then mick wonders why a lot of people don't like him, Pratt.

.

Well done all who took part

With Mick being a real person you wont find him ever wondering why a lot of people don't like him.

Your a disgrace.

Showing our support to all front line workers is brilliant to see total respect for what there all doing true heroes nothing but admiration for them all and what they are doing
to keep us safe.

Well said, totally agree 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

SOFT MICK if your a real person meet me face to face like i asked! IDIOT

LG you'll have some people on your case asking for a meet. He's an old man with a loose mouth and mind, just ignore.

Just been reported, though not yet confirmed, first GP death from Covid-19 in UK.

Basil, Just give Tonker a load of wavey men,

One thing is for sure, lg, the one who's "willing to meet" won't be nasty to you again, even from behind his keyboard

Why, Laughing gravy? Do you want to inflift violence on a person because you don't like his posts and lack the intelligence to counter?

It isn't a legal requirement to give anyone a round of applause.

Put the man on ignore.

He's an old man with a loose mouth and mind, just ignore.


I dont normally get involved with the anonymous low lifes, but my lady friend says Mick why dont you ask the question, How come this pretend new boy on Wiganworld knows so much about me.

Perhaps you Tom knows the answer to that simple question.

Oh I dunno, Azir, I think a stern telling off will shut the old fool up.

Google Mick Byrne to see that is really is an old man.

I know lots and can spot an old lowlife when I see one.

Oh by the way many of my friends both male and female gave me the heads up on you.

Mick,even Kate and Williams children were clapping,so if you think you're
above them,you're highly deluded.

That's an understatement, Momac. The tales I could tell!

He will be lowly deluded, Momac.

Don't tell me, Terry Tiny Tears knows mick as well.

Ant and Dec said they went out clapping as well

Haha, Tonker you tinker!

Same again tonight, folks👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

By someone who's flaunting the rules the NHS want you to abide by.

It was amazing last week.

But I don't care for the people who are getting on so I'm not bothered about the 2 metre rule.



If only he could spell hypocrite.

Thicker than black treacle

But people like black treacle.

Yes he is. But unfortunately nowhere near as sweet.

I'm guessing there'll be more out this week

What do you all think about the gagging of NHS workers: being threatened with their careers being ended if they speak out about what is really happening?

Open a thread about it.

.

Respect to everyone who got involved

Unfortunately, missed it tonight as I got a phone call just before eight, so was on the phone.

Will try to make up for it next time.

Fantastic atmosphere were we was

I like watching the videos on FB

Don't forget tonight at 8 o'clock people

Clap for our HEROES

Another fantastic night, keep up the good work,

The clapping is great isn't it.

But health workers, and other essential workers are putting themselves in harms way on our behalf, and we are certainly NOT doing all that we could to protect them.

I am sorry, but it is JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

In 1939, every man, woman and child was issued with a respirator to protect them from a threat which never materialised.

In 2020, we have fatalities amongst health care staff who tried to protect themselves with bin liners where adequate PPE could not be obtained!

A month into all of this, and we have not redirected our resources to address this most pressing need.

News reports show individuals in various trades refocusing their endeavours to provide what is needed. (But, this is small scale.)

WHY have we not seen the industrial refocusing that we saw in WW2 so that the manufacture and distribution of that which we most need, already churning out the massive quantities of PPE?

Mat Hancock said yesterday, if you can make this sort of stuff, contact us.

Lots of messages from those who can saying we did so weeks ago, and have received no response from UK government.

I am sorry. THIS IS A FAILURE!

I hate being negative, but we should learn from this, and do so rapidly.

We could do better than we have so far achieved.

More again tonight people, but there asking not to set fireworks off or light Chinese lanterns.

Here here..... a minute out of your life will not kill you.. there are thousands in the cemeteries who would gladly swap places with the negative folk.

Really strange this week.

Previous weeks lots of people clappin.

This week, just me and three other nearby households in my immediate neighbourhood.

Could be they have tired of it already.

Maybe they have all had enough of lockdown, and gone out for the evening!

Quite a lot of hoots from car horns! More road traffic than I have seen in a month.

I think maybe some people were expecting a different outcome than another three weeks in lockdown.

The Fakebooker have come to there senses and relised clapping is just a waste of time when your not going to be shown on the telly news

I was surprised.

I live in the midst of a cluster of very large houses, at least half of them have been converted into care homes. Also, two major hospitals nearby and a University Med school, so there is a high concentration of health/care workers hereabouts.

The first hospital in UK to treat Covid-19 is here, so health workers here have been living with this since January.

On local News just, 38 people have died here today: maybe this has left people subdued.

Just a little one
My eldest daughter is the senior manager at Wigan Infirmary Pharmacy..She is due to give birth to her first child any day now..As it is I cant see the child till this is over...many others in the same boat. They are doing a bril job...joined in the clapping myself as usual.

Still waiting...any day now.😁

Best regards to you daughter and grand child BB.

I can't wait to take my grandaughter swimming, and on walks again.

Thankyou wigan diver...still waiting for the nipper to arrive...being awkward..just like its mother 😁👍

Wigandiver...little parcel arrived 1.55pm today 9Lb "Isabella" both brill...daughter being discharged later today !! Thanks for asking 👍

Congratulations BB

Congratulations. And welcome to the world little lady. X

A very Happy 0 Birthday, from a Happy 70th Birthday. 21st April was always a good day, ( Ask the Queen ).

Congratultions to the relieved mother, "little" Isabella and a very pround Grandad.
Hope I've not missed anyone out. Whoops, er indoors.

Beautiful Spanish name BB.

I thank you one and all 👍

(Stinky New Boy) 😁

Stand by yer beds !!

8pm give em all a good round from the comfort of your home.

Yes, back to topic

Show your support not just for the NHS, but for all the key workers, which is anyone who is working, no matter what the job, as well 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Very muted here, tonight.

I gave the absentees the benefit of doubt last week, reasoning maybe the large number of deaths locally, had left people with reduced appetite to clap.

But, alas, even fewer this week, I guess that the novelty is wearing off.

Quite a few sounds of fireworks heard in the greater distance though, even though local TV appeal had requested not to set off fireworks!

ANOTHER fantastic turnout round our way, apart from the idiots setting fireworks off, been like this from week 1.

Plus it gives everyone the chance for a chat

excellent

The whole village was out tonight....What a moving experience this is ..............
