Thanks for the info', good to see they took notice of something in the end.

The trouble with that sort of thing is that it will allow the government to include you in the part of the statistics labelled "Religious", so quoting stats like, "70% of the population is now religious so we need to include religion in all school curriculae" etc etc.

Just put the truth, don't muck about.

You don't return one, someone will call, WITH a new one.

Failure to comply is £1000 fine, as is writing untruthful answers.

See, this is what gets me: someone thinks this is funny.

It's not.

All it will do is let someone in government use the statistic that for example, 70% of the population are religious, when deciding whether religion should be on the school curriculum, or whether religion should get a dip into our taxes, etc etc.

Just put NOT RELIGIOUS, don't muck about.

I'm with Alcazar. The sooner people start realising that hardly anyone believes in god, imaginary friends and giant teapots, the better.

They wouldn't, but it's not worth doing for the reasons I have given.

not had mine yet , but is the question about what you were doing on such and such a day last week serious?
wtf has that got to do with anything, and why such a totally vague question with completely unlimited answers?
do they expect you to write everything you did in order?

that is just fcking ridiculous
a census is just that, a count on the number of people living here, with possbly a few other questions, employed/unemployed ect.

It's in the form of a grid, ten minute intervals, you have to say what you did EACH ten minutes for a day of their choice, everyone's form is different.





















Seriously
It just asks what you were doing as regards employment LAST WEEK, (ie: the week before 27/3), and if you would have been available had you been offered a job, then what training schemes if any and stuff like that.
Nowt to worry about.

Good for you as I can think of a million things £1,000 of my own money would be better spent on than a fine.

Is that a rhetorical question? Do you honestly think that many people won't fill it in? You know like the supposed fuel protests which were so going to happen, but, er, didn't


I'll just leave the Mrs to fill it in best she can and actually save myself the grief

Just fill it in. Any old bollox will do.
Otherwise you will have the likes of me, and then a non-compliance officer calling who can issue the penalties.

Why not? And as for anyone visiting, you ONLY have to put them down if they are stopping with you.

Why all the negativity?
