Things that annoy you during Covid!

Clapping is therapeutic IMHO, it is almost as much about the clappers as it is the key workers. It is a way of being part of the overall effort. Don't knock it please.

I just stand in my front garden with a can.

Think replacing May Day with VE Day is a glorious idea.

As someone who went on the first ever demonstration in London when May Day was first made a public holiday (back in 1978) I couldn't posibly agree with you.

Are people really doubting Tom Moore?

Fantastic programme on him last night presented by Michael Ball - he lives with his daughter, who is a very well off business woman. They don't need money, and to suggest any of them are benefiting from his fund raising is bloody poor form, old boy.

I think it was ironic humour OBL, nothing g more.

Work. What a load of ****, but that annoys me when you're free to go around hugging strangers & licking the elderly.

Absolutely! Adults without children doing it is by far the most embarrassing thing I’ve seen.

Well, I hope so - you can't tell in the written word all the time.

Adults letting their children post videos of themselves for god knows who to look at...

There was another app that merged with Tik Tok which was a well known source for paedos! My 11 year olds certainly aren’t allowed it.

True, but when @dannypav joins in you know its a wind-up, he's never posted anything close to sensible on here (apart from sometimes obviously)

I ticked bunting - mainly because I think it's for VE day and I think the concept of 'celebrating' VE day is really weird. The Second World War was a global tragedy, and even if we were on the right side and victorious, I can't wrap my head around people having parties to celebrate it. It's yet another excuse for curtain twitchers to name and shame houses that don't take part.

You're probably to young to understand sonny,the option is 75 years under a Nazi jackboot.

How about those of us who are older and feel the same way?

The VE day celebrations always used to wind my Grandad up he was still fighting in Burma, and they always felt forgotten about.

My Dad too,but they were proud to be called the forgotten Army,God bless them all.

Lucky you live Spain then.

Lucky you live Spain then.

Luck had nothing to do with it, though it was certainly my choice.

Lucky old Blighty.

[Edit - no need for the politics]

Great idea at the outset.

The idea that we are in Lockdown, its a farcical attempt to look like something is being done , without any real emphasis on real instruction , now Europe is lifting far stricter restrictions to similar levels to our current position , there are many braying for greater freedom here, with 600 odd a day still dying and the spectre of a double spike , but a trip to the pub is more important

30,000 dead and no need for politics ...no wonder we are in such a mess

30,000 dead and no need for politics ...no wonder we are in such a mess

Thanks for that unique perspective Gary - and while the dead include my closest friend’s father, a great man at the top of his game who I’ve known for 40 years, you can rest assured I get the issue.

There’s a need for politics and also a place. And of course it’s important but it’s also banned as a topic on this site, as you well know, because people can’t discuss it without being ***holes to each other.

If people want an unmoderated site, they can go read the comments section on the Echo. And pay for the privilege at the same time.

And if people want me to step down from my position running this forum so you can all just pile into each other and make this whole situation even more intolerable, then I’m also happy to do it.
