They sent my census form back

[McMouse]

In answer to the question, 'Do you have any dependents?', I put, 'Asylum seekers, pikeys, smack heads, unemployable bastards, the cast of The Jeremy Kyle Show, Northern Rock, RBS and half of Eastern Europe!'

...apparently this wasn't an acceptable answer.

[boxtops]

LOL mcmouse, I wonder why not...?!

[merciasounds]

OMG - You didn't! You did? - Good for you!!! I hope you realise that I've nearly ruined my monitor spit-spraying coffee everywhere....

[ummmm]

Lol....

[mrs_overall]

That was a perfectly reasonable and acceptable answer to me

[Brenden]

Love it

[merciasounds]

Well - how strange - I was just going to email my friend and tell him this, when low and behold, what is there waiting for me? An email marked 'census' and the exact words what you have put.

[McMouse]

What a coincidence.

[Bobbisox]

Now I got that email too, but would I dare post it here?
not on your life..LOL
good on ya McM

If you had attempted to post this in the correct category you would have noticed that you need not have bothered...

Ah - not mcmouse's form then, gee I am slow on the uptake today....

[DTCwordfan]

o whips and chastisement this day of Atonement - naughty stool for you, McM, if ABE has his way

[anneasquith]

and did it make you feel better writing that information. who do you think is paying the saleries of the people who are returning forms ?? do you think it may be the tax payer ?

[Dee Sa]

well done you !!!!!

[OrdsallSi]

anneasquith i think you will find that no matter how many forms are returned it will not cost the tax payer one penny. It is a private company that is handling the Cencus and they have agreed a figure. The cost will come out of the large profit this company is paid.

[OrdsallSi]

Capita Group has been contracted by ONS to recruit and train the 35,000 temporary ONS workers who will work as field staff for the 2011 Census and to administer their pay.

The cost of the 2011 census is £482m, over double the £210m spent of the 2001 census

[jackthehat]

Ahem - Unsaddle your high-horses...............this is a *joke*.

(Admittedly as it's posted by McMouse, the humour content is arguable, but it is supposed to be a joke nevertheless).

[OrdsallSi]

I agree Jack just pointing out the government will have that large bill no matter what.

[anneasquith]

its difficult to tell with mcm !

[ummmm]

No it's not. Most of what McMouse posts are jokes.
