Re: Clap Clap for the NHS
Harmless but utterly pointless symbolism which I missed as I was taking Mrs A’s dinner upstairs as she’s now quarantined with symptoms.
As has been said elsewhere and by a nurse friend earlier - it’s nice but some f*cking PPE and test kits would be handier.

Re: Clap Clap for the NHS
I have no neighbours in earshot, but pals in the town tell me it was pretty loud there.
I hope it cheers up the NHS staff (pals who work for the service were appreciative on social media). i suppose it's a bit more concrete than sending "thoughts and prayers". Still not as good as a full set of PPE.

Re: Clap Clap for the NHS
I suppose what's getting on my tits really is that we are now dependent upon the one shining beacon of socialism (The NHS) that we have left but yet the Tories and Noo Labor have been dismantling it for decades and leaving us all exposed to situations like this
Not to mention the fukwits who voted Tory at the last election whose lives now depend on it.

Futile gestures can go a long long way .
I was with my mum in hospital 1 evening after visiting hours
( the nurses & ward mamager encouraged me to be there ) ,
A patient sadly passed away , the 2 Main nurses on the shift had tried there damndest to
keep her alive until the crash team arrived but to no avail,
They were both very down & all i had was 3 fruitella in my pocket
I walked over gave 1 to each & said i know its nothing but its all ive got.
If you could know how my Mum my Sisters & my nieces were treated after was
simply unbelievable . 1 of the doctors commented to me about being extraordinarily kind ,
I asked him what he was on about & he just said "Fruitella ".
Yes they do there work because it is dedication .
Sometimes a small thankyou at the right time goes a million miles.
