I've had two reminders through the door, despite having already posted it

Yes, they are finding that those posted early are backloged.

Aye, I don't own a Peugeot any longer so Jeff has suddenly found himself with an enormous amount of spare time

Easiest money i've earned for a long while. Don't fancy the co-ordinators job though. Mine did x amount of unpaid over time last week, mug!

You stay cleaner than working on Pugs as well

Can you see how pathetically daft this census crap idea is. Utter, utter waste of time & money & has been completed accordingly. I'll guarantee that my answers are unusable & of no use to anyone.
Job done.

The people paid to "collect" are in the area anyway, so a few that have been sent and haven't shown up yet don't matter too much.

No, sorry, I can't see how pathetic, or daft it is.

Why would a set of statistics that allow government, both national and local, to better plan spending on such things as school places, transport, doctors, and hospital places, care for the elderly, care for those needing it, leisure facilities, etc etc etc...........WHY would that be a waste of money?

If yours is unusable, then that's a shame, and a bit childish, IMHO.

And IF it IS, you may well get an enforcemnt visit anyway: it's the law, you HAVE to do it and do it properly.

There's absolutely no way that the minor questions in that census can help national government/local councils budget for future amenities.
Waste of time & try & prove that I didn't fill it out to the best of my ability.
