"Look At Us! Us! LOOK!"

No, no, not Harry and Meghan, or the latest vacuous sleb on the new season of "Let's Go To A Deserted Island And Eat Kangaroo Testicles".

This is Hove. They do things differently here:
A family has been hiding painted stones for NHS staff to find in a show of appreciation for healthcare workers.
Flowers and chocolates are so passé, dahlings!
Hove resident Fran Aiello, her children Bluebell, seven, and Dexter, one, and boyfriend Scott Lipscombe have been busy painting since the coronavirus lockdown began in March.
*rolls eyes*
“My hope is NHS staff will keep their rocks so they know how much we appreciate the work they do.”
Frankly, if someone puts one of them through your window, you've only yourselves to blame...

    The attention seeking virtue signalling of this family is bad enough, but I wonder how their virtue signalling is received by those who have had piss poor treatment by the woefully misnamed 'envy of the world'? I can imagine that it will make many thoughtful people angry. I would not be at all surprised if this family get some sort of verbal pushback from this.

    The rock painting thing, and hiding them around town for people to find, is an established kids tradition/fad around here, but nothing specifically to do with healthcare workers.

    Keeps them off the smartphones at least.

    "...but I wonder how their virtue signalling is received by those who have had piss poor treatment by the woefully misnamed 'envy of the world'?"

    As one who has, I can tell you: 'Not well'!

    "Keeps them off the smartphones at least."

    Oh, indeed!
