    Sorry, followed that link... still don't understand what you are trying to tell us.

    Not an official law?
    What are you on about?

    secondary did you know lockheed martin is the contract company for the cencus on behalf of the ONS (Office of national stats) who is banned form 187 countries for being a major arms dealer... and guess who gets your info

    You do spout a load of drivel.

    What have tv licences got to do with it?

    Every householder knows what an occupier is.

    However, not many of us know what a status law is.
    Please explain.

    Thirty-seven people got fined? For what?
    Well if all the millions filled in the forms last time, are you suggesting they should've got fined too?

    Lockheed Martin do lots of things.

    Pass the form to your dad... it's for grown-ups.

    ...it is impossible to fine a empty house.
    But it is not an offence to not fill in a form for an empty house.

    Clearly, by definition, there is no-one available to do it.

    The law says that you should fill out the form and return it.

    However, it does not (AFAIK) say you must fill out a 2nd form if the first one goes missing after you have posted it back.

    Just tell em you posted it.
