    I stand corrected - thank you Sir!

    I did wonder - it seemed so high that it would have been major news at the time and I couldn't remember hearing about it :D

    Very dignified there WP, i'm impressed:D
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    I always believe that if you're wrong, you're wrong and I've never been afraid to admit to it :D

    So your not at all worried about Lockheed getting your details and more MP's "losing" your files and data on more than 1 occasion?
    Course I am, BUT I don't have a choice about the cencus, I do however, have a choice how it gets to them (for them to lose)

    I filled in my census form today and walked down the post box to post it off and it was to big for the post box so i didn't know if to fold it in half so i brought it back home.

    Don't worry, I am now officially a Jedi Knight so if the census folk start giving you grief, PM me, I will see to it you are protected from their evil Sith Lords.
    Don't relax! It's only your tension that's holding you together.

    you honestly put jedi down? you want your descendants in 100 years thinking you were a mentally ill cretin?
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    Yeah because they believe in made up characters who have the ability to perform special actions just by touching them or using their minds.... Unlike Jesus of course!!

    I had to chuckle at that last comment :)

    I wouldn't say you are stupid if you threw your form in the bin, but I would say you are at the very least foolish. I am sure you know it is a legal obligation to fill it in (but you know that phrase that says you can't argue with ....).

    On a different note I would imagine they can now get census data just by aggregating data from all their other databases anyway so maybe in 10 more years time they will just do that.

    Reading the census regulations/act you are required to post it back.

    However, what it does not say is that if they do not receive it you have to fill in another.

    So if you get a knock on the door, just say you posted it off and tell them to go away.

    They cannot do anything else.
