Shame some utter bellends are using the clap for the NHS thing to let off fireworks. Some pricks in my street did this.

Much better turn out this week, pretty much everyone in our cul-de-sac was out tonight clapping.
Lovely to see.

One of my neighbours set off their house alarm for the full minute.
Also, a solitary firework.

We had a football air horn in our area tonight Saucepan from me and an air horn up the road somewhere. I couldn't see from mine properly but I can hear the numbers clapping increasing. It's quite moving. Our old town clock begins it's chime through the street and the wave of support begins. It isn't for everyone, granted. The couple of houses opposite me don't partake. I'm sure most do in their own way...a raising of a glass, a short peek out the window to observe, a quiet moment of reflection on all that is happening and the clapping back of their Mrs as the eighth chime rings and the reverberation of a saucepan pangs. |

What's wrong with letting off fireworks? Someone let off a red smokebomb near me & started shouting about "Swindon boys, we are 'ere" or something similar. |

It terrifies animals. Some of these would have been key workers pets who were alone whilst their owners were at work, while the clapping and cheering(and fireworks going off) was taking place. My neighbours bring their dog out each week for the clapping. It went berserk last night due to the fireworks going off. |

Your personal experience and extrapolation seems a bit of a stretch to persuade people not to let off fireworks, when at the same time people are banging saucepans, and making other unusual and sudden noises. However, it heartens me that the shared passion for STFC brings people from diverse ways of thinking. I embrace that. |

Our dogs hate the fireworks too, they go mental and it means we can't join in the clapping as our dogs go mad at fireworks. |

I don’t have any pets so I’m no expert by any stretch but I believe dogs have extremely sensitive hearing hence the issue with fireworks/loud bangs.
My sister used to have a King Charles spaniel that was absolutely terrified of the vacuum cleaner.

Our Springer used to just want to go out in the garden and bark at the fire works. The first one or two would make her jump but then she just went mental at the back door till we let her out.
As for the clapping thing. Someone on our estate arranged for people to park their cars on the main road and beep their horns. We had people playing drums, banging saucepans.
Of course it’s an extremely small example, like aribas but that noise naturally woke up our son and myself who is a night shift working key worker. I can’t imagine I’m the only one to experience this.
It’s slightly different on our estate because the hospital will actually be able to hear & see us.
It’s odd, like...is this clap going to happen every week? Once this has all blown over will we still appreciate the NHS every week? ...or will they not be at the forefront of people’s minds then? What about the other key workers? How many people are joining in with the clapping just for their own smugness?
...and lastly, how many people out their clapping every week vo....I’ll leave it at that....
