This kind of thing always strikes me as incredibly tacky.

I think it's nice. One of the creators of the Oxford vaccine is there with a large crowd to
show their gratitude. The length of timing for the applause coupled with the standing
ovation shows it wasn't merely politeness but a genuine moment from the crowd.

A pay increase would be more useful than a round of applause.

Ah yes, the Wimbledon organisers will take note and raise wages in the next budget.

I recommend taking a few days break from this sub and you might lose some of that
insufferable cynicism.
