Just filled in my form online with a load of nonsense, I'm of Bengwalian extraction and live in a house with 200 rooms etc etc.

Waste of money this Census lark in todays electronic age. All it does is keep some nosey stataticians in a job. **** 'em.

rypt out of interest is there a single subject on which you don't appear to:

a) Come across as an expert on
b) Have hugely simple solutions available for issues which professionals regard as complex
c) Make yourself look daft

Woah nelly, he had sex 10 times in the last two weeks he knows what he's doing.

Their official home of residence will include them. Only if they are at your house on March 27th do you put them down as visitors.

The snapshot is March 27th.

So, you fill in a national census with childish lies and then insult jp_bl_68 because he asked if you were serious. Tenfold ROLLEYES at you sir!

LOL 32 pages of purple glory.

Started mine last night, so much easier to do it online using the code on the top right of the form.

kai · 8 Mar 2011 at 11:46

Done Online, took no more than 10 minutes no big deal really.

Random question. If you receive and fill in the form before March 27th, how do you know if anyone is going to be in your house on that date? Or am I missing something obvious?

You don't just guess.

Don't you have some Norwegian census to fill out?

We had a census turn up in work today, didn't get a chance to have a look at it.. Mine hasn't turned up at home yet!

Nah, we (Swedish, not Norwegian) moved into the 21st a while back and adopted ID cards that are handled by the equivalent of the inland revenue and are not compulsory.

Stuff the fines - its the patronising busybodies that will come knocking on your door to force you to fill the form in that you want to watch out for...

Personally dont see what the big deal is - none of the questions are particularly intrusive - maybe they should offer quidco or Nectar points for properly completed forms...

Exactly, I don't know why everyone makes such a fuss.

Also, it's been paid/budgeted for now so by not filling it in or putting in silly anwsers you're only wasting government money that's come from your taxes!
