    I fully expected a gorgeous blonde female, with perfect curves to pay me a visit and assist me in filling in my form, this has not happened!! :mad:


    Sorry - I had to cancel my application to be a census collector as I had a sinus op on the 31st March.
    Here I go again on my own....

    I saw one knocking on a door in the next street over. Slightly overweight balding middle aged man. Can't all be winners eh?

    From what I over heard as I walked past he was just politely explaining that there had been a census, that the form needed to be filled in and he would help if they wanted. Seemed more kindergarten than cop.
    If you think of it as 'us' verses 'them', then it's probably your side that are the villains.

    I think people such as the OP lack confidence and should be pitied rather than made to look stupid :D

    As most of us are on Widelats ignore list (as we dared to disagree with him) he's talking to himself anyway. Maybe that's why the census people haven't been around they have put him on ignore. :D

    I only included my name\address, leaving the rest blank, apart from a huge N\A across the page.

    At least I can say I sent it off, on saying this I am still awaiting the Enforcer from the past two Census's that I NEVER sent off, if they are so keen to know my day to day activities, I only hope they bring a camera.

    Its a pity you're not in my area then. :p
  • Blonde turned up at my door - explained I'd already sent my form off and she went away again.

    Got a nasty letter threatening me last week for not doing it - chucked it in the bin.

    I've done the damn form and they're still chasing me for it - probably means they couldn't read my handwriting, so keep shoving it to the bottom of the pile.

    If they show up again, I'll just repeat all the information again.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
