the UK has just had it's census and it was a big form this time and frankly it pried a little to much for my likeing,

BTW it was widely reported that if more than 300 people put down "JEDI" as their religeon then the govt would have to recognise it as official...

Gr The Jedi,Would Be A Happy Girl!

Ya Know They Can Fine You $3000.00 & Put You In Jail For 60 days For Not Filling Out & Sending That Damndable Census!

WOW

Well, I'll Just Run Off To The Mailbox And Drop It In Now...Bye!

Outsider...

Yeah I heard that about the Jedi. Interesting coming so fast on the heels of the Australian experience. Maybe it's a new world movement!

I didn't like the way our census wanted to know our names and the adresses of where we worked. The whole thing is meant to anonymous after all and knowing my name isn't going to help them plan new schools over the next twenty years.

I heard that the DSS is gonna have access to the form to try and catch out benefit cheat's and thats why they asked all those new question's......fucking police state or what

 

[p_p_man]

Guessed it was something like that...

...luckily I'm clean! <<crossing himself and trying not to sweat>>

 

[DarkAngel]

Hee hee.. yeah.. right... DUH... Shit so thats what as been in my mail box for the last 2 weeks.. hee hee...

Uhm.. think the Canadian Gov. will for give me if its a week or two late

 

[OUTSIDER]

in that regard I'm as clean as a whistle but it still felt wrong though answering all those quetions.

 

[p_p_man]

Tried to get myself on a phone in...

...to ask why they wanted to know that information. Sent e-mails to three separate programs airing the topic. No joy on all counts. Wonder how many others tried?

 

[Ask For More]

I didn't even get a census form....are they only sent out to selected people or something?

No it's supposed to be one per a household, do you have your own place or do you live with someone like your parents in which case the form goes to the householder (owner).

Thats a good question...but having said that I did see a good interview with the minister involved, on BBC news 24.

GOOD GOLLY.......ONLY IN AMERICA

At least in the U.S., you can e-mail your census in. I was going to do that but I ran out of cyberstamps.

All those living in Canada...don't forget to send in your CENSUS forms today!

I know a few besides me who live in this wonderful country and hang out here, but who else lives in Canada? and what part?

They gave us an extension yay!

Now where can I pick one up at?

 

[DarkAngel]
