Dal   0 #61 Posted March 19, 2021 Any reason to prefer filling in a paper version of the census? I hate filling things out online when I can't see to the end of it as I go along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Looks like something is going adrift this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

El Cid   194 #64 Posted March 19, 2021 I have just filled it in, for my houshold. I was surprised how much information they wanted.  The addresses of our employers, never seen that on an old census. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Must be 'status dependent',, then, because it only asked me what my job title and responsibilities were, but I am retired.  IIRC, that was on the last census too. 6 hours ago, enntee said: Because, if they don't send me a form, I'll not be filling it in.

despritdan   219 #67 Posted March 20, 2021 I don't know why they're even bothering, given nobody has a clue what the population of this country is due to all the illegals here and government incompetence in keeping track of them.  https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/government-no-idea-how-many-22204690  It's not just this country, Sweden recently admitted they have no idea either and their population is about a seventh of ours so what chance is there of our census having any relevance?  https://www.rt.com/news/497249-swedish-authorities-admit-they-no/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
