We had that last year during the elections… it was very much frowned upon by anybody that cared. Meanwhilst, those in the real world cried with laughter!
I like the irony that as a result of over enthusiastic clapping, banging pans or whatever they like to do on a Thursday, there seems to be a spike in A&E visits. I’m not sure you could make it up.
Exactly, in the story there was a woman who tried to jump on a wall during this, missed, gashed her leg and ended up in A&E. It also seems older people are getting up after sitting around and having falls.
I imagine though it seems that people aren’t going to hospital like they may have been, it’s giving A&E workers something to do.
I was listening to a programme on R4 (more or less) which indicated that visits to A&E departments by children have stayed by and large (or perhaps that should be more or less?) flat.
Kids are finding different ways to injure themselves by generally are remaining as risky.
The data showed high results from trampolines and Joe Wicks…
One of my nephews needed his eyebrow glued after jumping off a child’s picnic bench style table.
A few years later, his younger brother needed his eyebrow glued after jumping off the sofa.
I drove them both to hospital. The first one was late night by the time we got home so off to bed. The second one was still daytime and that little moron just climbed right back up onto the sofa ready to jump off it.
The little boy next door has a trampoline and his current thing is jumping around and throwing things in the process. I had a near miss last week as a plastic cricket bat came sailing over the fence.
