Census

[TonyV]

Just done ours online to get it out of the way, did only take 25 mins for the both of us. I don't mind doing but with the underhand threat of a £1000 fine I felt less obliged.

[ummmm]

I didn't fill it in once, too much going on in my life at the time and I completely forgot about it, they came round the house. No stupid questions to answer.

They just showed me the last census form and asked had anything changed.

Yes...she doesn't live here anymore...she's in Oz, otherwise the same.

Thank you

End of convo.

I did it in a little under 5 minutes and was left a little disappointed that there hadn't been a lot more questions.

Yes, I actually enjoy filling in forms!

I trust that you noted your nationality as European and religion as Jedi - there'll be no-one to stop us this time...

[TonyV]

Jim Jedi is always my selected religion

[TonyV]

But selected nationality will always be English

[JimF]

They start at Calais, right?

[TonyV]

I normally start from Dover

oh I think from the very first 1801 wasnt it? people were opting for this and that - including no thank you

what astounds me is that 1841 it cost the councils such a lot of money that when they ordered the books to be destroyed virtually all the councils decided to hang onto the returns and store them

and it is confidential, 1971 they prosecuted a returns officer who dobbed in benefits dodgers - I think he did time
