For anyone in need of a good laugh, have a watch of this actual zoom meeting from Handforth Parish Council. It’s gone viral, over a million views in the last 24 hours and even made the news across the pond.
Hilarious - you couldn’t make it up!

I'd never heard of it until it started popping up on FB this morning.
The zoom call is hilarious.
And as I am typing this it's just come up on the ITV evening news.

Jackie's been on Radio 4 this morning, Sky News this afternoon and heading onto Channel 4's The Last Leg tonight. The UK's Carole Baskin.
Watching the full 1hr40min meeting yesterday was a revelation. Theatrical and perfectly scripted, with impeccable comic timing. Except it was all real. It felt like an episode of Inside Number 9.
The prequel it just as fascinating, but so is the footage from 2017 where the same characters cause friction against each other.
No offence to anyone here but I couldn't help feel like I was watching a Theatreboard thread in real time at points.

Well if you ignore the high drama, the people wandering in and out, answering phones, talking on mute, not having what they need in front of them, being labelled as ipad so you wonder who they are is every zoom meeting i've ever been in. Prof. MM I would be lying if I said I didn't know what you meant with reference to here  |

My grandparents used to live in Handforth, so this has been all very surreal for me...

Prof. MM I would be lying if I said I didn't know what you meant with reference to here I lost a big bet on this. Was sure 'the Chairman' would be gammon. Staunch remainer apparently |

They played a snippet of that on Radio 2 breakfast show this morning while I was still in bed, and it had me howling with laughter. Made getting up a bit easier this morning!

They're back!
Dont forget to mute... "You probably don't want to appear in an Andrew Lloyd Webber Musical as Julies I Pad, so there is your warning" 9:35
Unfortunately fairly spoilt by random members of public interjecting trying to be funny.
