Just finished the census form.
took 3 days lol
Filled in the Questionaire and then realised we had 7 people in the house but only space for 6 on the form
Do we ask for the extra sheet 2 days after its due, nope
Started again online
Anyone notice there was no question like " Do you have a pet " that would double the population count
Or " Do you have a TV licence "

nah think you've got 10 days or something. I did mine online last night. Didn't seem to really be any room for explaining shared custody of children - pretty sure Hannah's going to end up being counted twice. |

The principle is that it's the people in the house on census night but it doesn't ask that. it asks 'who usually lives here' then there's no option further down the line (as i expected) asking who was actually at home |

The principle is that it's the people in the house on census night errm, pretty sure that's wrong The historical principle for 200 years was who is in the property - that got amended to reflect more modern thinking into the wording of 'who usually lives there', but if in doubt the underlying principle of who is actually there would probably be a good fall back position. EDIT: the aim is to try and avoid counting people twice and to put people in the correct regions - that's why it got changed but in the case of people who are 'usually' at more than one place then where they actually are fits quite well |

yes that was my second disappointment, not only did it insist on making me answer questions about my last job, I wasnt going to be in the country anyway on census night and I had hoped to get away with answering about 2 questions.... |

We get one box to tick, "Gypsy / Irish Traveller" Two totally different and separate ethnic groups, but just the one box.

Playing devil's advocate, I'd imagine they have pretty similar impacts in terms of local/national government planning (the excuse for the census in the first place). Ooops. We sent ours a week or so back. thought it said must be completed BY the 27th lol
27th was a suggested date for completion, but it wasn't compulsory. We (along with pretty much everyone I've talked to at work) did it online sometime in the last couple of weeks. |

Lots of job related questions, what's the correct answer to them if you're a professional layabout/poker player?
What's the verdict on this? It's either fill in as if I'm a poker player or use the weekend job I had in the co-op when I was 16 :-/ |

I don't see that as ridic. it's got you listed as a retired teacher who last worked in 2005, pretty accurate what would be ridic is if you'd done 1/2 day's work in a sweet shop in between. then it'd have you listed as a sweet seller who retired in 2007 |
