What happened to the letters the government were writing to every household?

About 10 days ago I thought it was announced that the government was writing to every household in the country to reiterate the advice regarding CV

I thought it seemed a waste of time and money as you’d have to be living in a bunker to have not heard to before but that’s beside the point

Did anyone actually receive this letter?

Two days ago ours came. Total waste of money.

LionessRoar · 08/04/2020 11:01

Got ours on Monday. It’s just basic info that we have been told already.

CakeAndGin · 08/04/2020 11:02

Yes - it’s the only post we’ve received for about 2 weeks. We received it early last week.

PuppyMonkey · 08/04/2020 11:03

Got ours Monday

Hearhoovesthinkzebras · 08/04/2020 11:03

Not had ours either but we've not had post for days now.

YinuCeatleAyru · 08/04/2020 11:03

We only got ours today

Spied · 08/04/2020 11:03

Newcastle. Got it

It's nothing that hasn't been said on every news site and tv show!

No nothing here. Only had one letter in the past 3 weeks. Northwest

MockersxxxxxxxSocialDistancing · 08/04/2020 11:05

The leaflet is useful.

The letter lacks the necessary perforations but could still do good service hanging from a rusty nail in the thunderbox.

TowerRingInferno · 08/04/2020 11:05

Nothing here but my MIL has had two.

Spidey66 · 08/04/2020 11:06

Got it today. Was good of BoJo to write from ICU.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 08/04/2020 11:06

We're in London and haven't had it. At this rate we'll be out of lockdown before it turns up. What a waste of time and money.

Lovebug06 · 08/04/2020 11:08

In South East, havent had one, had forgotten about it until I see this thread!

SauvignonBlanche · 08/04/2020 11:09

Got ours today, wasn’t particularly illuminating.

This has been withdrawn by MNHQ at poster's request.

atsasnuffothat · 08/04/2020 11:10

Got it yesterday. What a criminal waste of money.

BlobbaGob · 08/04/2020 11:11

The money used to produce these leaflets would have been better spent buying more ventilators. Hmm

lotusbell · 08/04/2020 11:11

Got mine this morning, I'm in Lancashire. Was reading a friends post on Facebook yesterday saying she'd had hers so sounds like they're slowly coming through. I don't see the point of them at all, given the information in the envelope os nothing we haven't heard or read about for the past couple of months. If there was any 'right' time to send this waste of money out, I should've been weeks ago.

RJnomore1 · 08/04/2020 11:12

Think Boris took Ill before he managed to finishing signing them all

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 08/04/2020 11:13

Mine arrived this morning. Complete waste of money.

dementedpixie · 08/04/2020 11:13

Got mine 2 days ago

iVampire · 08/04/2020 11:14

I got mine yesterday, but haven’t opened it, as I doubt it’ll say anything that’s not covered by the ‘shield’ letter I’d already received

mynameiscalypso · 08/04/2020 11:14

We got ours on a Monday but the post is totally messed up where we are; only getting deliveries every four or five days as so many staff are off sick.

lovehome · 08/04/2020 11:14

Nope never got 1
