Grumpy Old Woman alert

I guess they don't actually force people? So maybe it's just a bit of fun.

The sad thing is that people are so willing to comply. I guess it's just a sign of the times. Whatever that means.

Or maybe it's not so sad at all. They are happy.

With all the sad news about the World I would say its a good thing and encourages people to enjoy themselves.

I suppose it’s harmless, and a bit of a lift from all the horrible things going on. I must admit, though, that I do groan a bit at some of antics, but it really is just for fun. I wouldn’t do it myself, but if others want to and enjoy themselves, all well and good. ?

Oh dear, I must check before posting - I missed the space there!

Oh to have the confidence to sing in the street and not care what people think! I agree Mapleleaf it's just for fun.

My radio can be switched off if there's something I don't like!

I can't see anything wrong with it . Sounds like a bit of fun. You can always turn the radio off if it bothers you.

What is the theme tune to ET? I've seen it several times and can't think of one! Not that I'd sing it though - I get so embarrassed at even watching things going on in the street so would be hurrying past with my head down

It makes me thankful I do not listen to local radio!

Esther Ranzen use to go out onto the streets and ask silly questions, in the 70’s

We had a lovely sing along today at our 50+ coffee group....there was a Ukalilee band. Thoroughly enjoyed today .

Having worked in TV, I know for sure that "making a fool of themselves" is gold to any producer. Look at all the shows which use it.

schadenfreude like sex, sells.

Vox pops, or sing pops, are also cheap and tv producers have to think of that as well.

Turn the radio off?
I do, every time Nick Robinson or Anna Soubry speaks.
