"Goes on" you make it sound like some shady backstreet operation - it's undertaken by the government and has been for the last 200 years.
Dont even get me started on the numerous things that I dont want to do but am "forced" to do every day.
Also, I don't see why everyone is suddenly so concerned Lockheed Martin are helping out. They did exactly the same in 2001, and from their press release it looks like all they are doing is handling the automatic character recognition on the forms when they come back (http://www.lockheedmartin.com/news/press_releases/2008/0828_lmuk-2011-census.html).
The majority of the work is still done by our own Office of National Statistics who have a department who's sole job is to manage the census (my wife's Aunt actually works for the department). After this census is over and the data has been analysed, they move straight onto the 2021 census.... Presuming the government don't shut them down as part of their cost cutting!

Was going to ask what Lockheed Martin's involvement was - but that is all?! And people are getting paranoid about this?
Capita is providing the staff and dealing with all the CRBs of those staff as far as I'm aware. Are people going to be 'protesting' about this?

Just remembered, last time they did the census in 2001 they were closing roads to do the census. Any idea what that was about and are they going to be so stupid again?

Do student households have to fill in the form, or are they counted under their main (home) address?
Edit: apparently we do. Whoop....

I don't want to pay for fuel, its disgusting that they make me pay.
Stockhausen and rypt, thank you for the lulz.
Good post bro.
I honestly despair for the future of mankind when filling out a form invokes such stupidity. It honestly feels like millions of half intelligent people will be forced into the sea by swarms of braindead and paranoid idiots soon.

I believe that she spends a lot of time under some BMW that's been round the houses a few times if that counts?

What a completely bizarre question to ask in a thread about a census, but if you must know, yes thanks, I've been in a long term relationship for the last 5 years

I would love the SAS to grab people like stockhausen and rypt in helicopters, fly them out over the North Sea and kick them out.
There should be a penalty for such stupidity as displayed by those two - and the penalty should be death.

Really DRZ?
I have to wonder if they actually bother sending it back to you if you fail at answering all the questions/giving sensible answers etc and how many times they'd return it before they gave up... Also I assume you're still allowed to put anything for your 'religion'? What exactly happens if not enough people put the same as you for it to count as an official religion?
Man of Honour
I don't know about the first question but here you can presumably put anything for your religion but if there aren't enough people who share your beliefs to classify it as a distinct grouping then you'll just be bundled in with "Religion: Other". Oh and Jedi was not a religion according to the most recent census, irrespective of the ~400k people (from memory) who put it down.

Worst "I get laid" post ever.......oh wait
iirc it got enough people to put it down that it could legally claim to become a religion.
