Benefits - The Sign

When did you take yer NHS sign down then?
Street used to be full of them.
Last week? Last month? When you had to start wearing a mask? What about you? How about you?
And you?
Not you.
How many claps did you do?
Every week?
Missed a couple?
How long did you clap for though? How much of the One Show did you miss?
First one out. Last one in eh?
Did you have pans? How hard did you clap?
How sore were your hands?
Did they heal in time for the next weeks clap?
Still bloody? Same.
Did you watch the briefings?
How many? Really?
Did you have a favourite?
Yeah me too.
Staycation? Yeah. Bit cold.
Wheres yer flag?
I said where’s yer fucking flag.
Or do you just wave it on VE Day?
One of them are yer. Hmmm.
Did you eat out to help out?
How many times?
Per week? Per day?
When did you go back into the office?
Still waiting? I see… Shame.
How many masks have yer got?
Yeah me neither.
Kids back at school yet?
Good.
