Has anyone had their letter from Boris yet?

[JoeExotic]

Just that really - no one I have spoken to has.

Got another one today. The first one came yesterday.

Like others have said just reiterating what's already been said over and over again already.

Not yet

We got it today.

Are people seriously not opening mail for days rather than simply washing their hands though?

How odd.

Yes got ours.

Mine came today

Apparently so @inflam, I was being a bit tongue in cheek. I actually opened the rest of my post (and washed my hands) but figured Boris's letter could wait as I know what's in it!

Yes. I’ve kept it in case I forget everything that everyone is saying everywhere.

Stay at home.

Oh look I remembered. All by myself

Yes. Felt sorry for all those trees involved

Yes in north yorks

This will have cost them about 50mil. Surely that's better spend elsewhere?

Yes we have. I'm a KS2 teacher and I've kept it to use in the future as an example of persuasive writing!

Yep arrived yesterday. C London.

5m they said

Complete waste of money.

I don't even think anyone who is so off grid they don't have a basic tv or radio will get anything out of it.

18p a letter? To print, stuff, and post? I don't think so.

@reefedsail I'm secondary English. I was thinking of doing the same thing. Could also use it as a clanger of an example of inconsistent register ("level with you" is informal and therefore inappropriate in such a letter)🤦🏼‍♀️ Found it a bit lacking in persuasive/ creative devices tbh.

Yep - it went straight in the bin although the kids were quite impressed by us getting a letter from Boris... until they realised he hadn't personally written it.

Yes, keeping it for my youngest who is currently 4, they can look back on it when they are older as I imagine this event will make history.

To those of you throwing your Boris letter away ...I can't find it now, but there was an excellent video doing the rounds showing how to fold your letter into a facemask,

Got ours today, someone on another thread said they would be good for kids to stick in to scrap books or journals.

@Letmegetthisrightasawoman I haven't actually read the whole thing yet- does he actually write 'level with you'?? I just peered into the envelope and shoved it in my school bag to file. It doesn't need to be a good example does it!

I did make note of the grave looking font and crest though.

No I reckon the overworked posties are chucking loads in the bin. Anyway we can read it online for what its worth.

My son is writing a daily journal, i told him he is living through a historic event and his writings might become a source for gcse history in the future.
Cant say there are any particularly compelling entries so far.

Yes - in N.Ire

I feel desperately sorry for Boris in his present state but this thread is hilarious. I think Boris would approve.

I got mine today! DH thinks we need to save it, like a ration book.. for history!
