Unlikely things to hear in hospital 😲😂 Mock the Week - BBC

What the joke about “time of death 8 o’ clock” and then she clapped? Is it an inside joke about N.H.S.?

[@qwertyTRiG]

People clapping outside their houses at 8 o'clock to applaud the NHS workers. It became a thing early in the pandemic. The workers said that they appreciated it, but really would prefer a pay increase (and for people to take sensible precautions). I'm not sure whether it's still happening.

[@PatrickMersinger]

@@qwertyTRiG thanks , makes a lot more sense now.

I don’t get the A&E sports joke. I know EA Sports is a game but I don’t get how he’s linked the two. “It’s in the game” why is that funny?

[@kylestubbs8867]

“It’s in the game” is the slogan for EA. The guy is chastising an A&E employee who answers the phone by saying that.

[@linmanfu913]

If you are from another country, it may be helpful to know that A&E is the British term for what some countries call the ER - the hospital department that handles urgent cases

[@bikeny]

I've seen the A&E phrase and never bothered to look it up. TIL it means Accident & Emergency. For me here in the States, it's a tv channel called Arts & Entertainment, although I believe they renamed it to the A&E method a long time ago. And as others have said, that knee joke was a real knee slapper.

[@PatrickMersinger]

Here in the states isn’t it E/A SPORTS….ITS IN THE GAME?

Diversity is a serious issue and should be challenged appropriately. However the UK is 85% white and a cheeky calculation tells you a randomly generated group of 6 people is 38% likely to be all white. So while British television in general is lacking in diversity it’s not as far off as you’re implying it is.
