The Census

[R1cho]

as title says, the census, i filled out mine online, i put in our youngests details, she is 6 months old and it asked where has she lived for the past 3 years? if she has been in full time education or employed, surely in this day and age where an insurance company can tell what the size of ya O ring is they can get something as simple as knowing a 6 month old aint really done alot right

I do not how many did what I did, completed it on line, however, I have heard on radio 2 that you should not complete it until I think the 27th March, as one of the questions asks who is in your house on that date !! nuts to that, mine has been completed .:cool:

Wonder what would happen if you completed it in a foreign language ? It would still be all filled in etc as required.:augie

Your right, you are not suposed to fill them in till the 27th. as this could cause the system to be wrong. for example if you filled yours in now and the information is not logged till the 27th and you go to stay at a friend house over night on the 26th then you will be recorded as being in two places at the same time. (If your friend fills his in on the right day).

Also, you could be out of the country or in hospital, and that will be recorded as well.

We had a geezer from the Census at a residents meeting last thursday, he said there were 34 sucessfull prosecutions of persons he failed to fill in the form last time, & you do not have to use your real name, they have no way of checking cos they cant look at it for 100 years so the odds are 26million mickey mouses this year.

We re-arranged the children's names and ours last time and were of course all Jedi.
There wasn't a Welsh nationality tick box last time either so we filled in the Welsh language form in english just to wind them up.
The question about how well you speak english we then said not at all.
Oh how we laughed:o
All the tick boxes ticked on the multiple options:thumbs
I dont think anyone was arrested for not filling in the form it's just their job to put the wind up:rolleyes:
