The Cen(s)us

the cost of chasing those up,bringing them to court,and the inevitable low fines wont make a profit.
i dont remember reading about cases going to court last time either.

Yea scrap my theory, only 38 people were prosucuted after the last census. If you dont complete the procedure is:  

1. If a questionnaire is not returned, reminders will be sent out to households, and census staff will visit and offer to help householders complete their questionnaire

2. If the householder continues to refuse, information will be forwarded to the census office. A letter will be sent, along with a replacement questionnaire, to enable householders to complete the questionnaire

3. If the householder continues to refuse, census officers will make a final visit. They will offer to help the householder complete the questionnaire

4. If the householder continues to refuse, the case will be referred to solicitors. Prosecutions will take place in magistrates’ courts. Successful prosecutions will result in a fine of up to £1,000 and a criminal record


I quite fancying getting a Census staff member to come round and help me spell my name

That staff would be none other than the biggest arms manufacturer in the world, United States firm Lockheed Martin who are carrying out the Census.

Glad the entire Census data is going to end up in the hands of the US Gov under the Patriot Act.

Can we just all agree that this is a con (Census) ?

[Foggy]

And don't you have to complete it by law?

Nope, it says by hand

[nevillew]

I think he means there's a bye-law ?

[BANGKOK RED]

Does Jude Law have to complete it by law? Or what about Jude Law's in-laws?

Brings it all back. 2001 census - interviewing the great unhosed of Calne...

I was amazed how many farm animals were masquerading as females (some even attempted to wear make up, some could mutter the odd legible human word).

Happy Days.

Yes, but like Jedi as a religion it'll be discounted.

What a complete and utter waste of our valuable time

I don't think anyone who posts on here can legitimately complain about their "valuable time" being wasted

[flammableBen]

I'm going to put no religion.

I worked on the 2001 census...good laugh. They wanted me back, but the numbers of dodgy pickey cunts who I'd prefer to avoid has risen in the last 10 years....just at the time when my powers of self defence, have started to wane. Life's too precious....

Me neither. Perhaps she feels like a virgin carpenter. Or maybe she has a bun in the oven and now has an overwhelming urge to ride a donkey to Bethlehem. Who knows?

Better not be pregnant, I'm not carrying two of you.
