I haven't refused to fill in the form. I just don't open the door to strangers. Don't reward bad barky dogs, I've seen that on the telly-box. <br /><br />She says they are going to send 'specialist investigators'. Perhaps I shall enquire in to the cost of that with an FoI. <br /><br />Funnily enough, I don't have any objection to giving the same info as I give to get my worthless vote. I quite like the idea of someone being able to find me in 100 years as I've been able to find ancestors. The rest I tick at random. <br /><br />I intend to make this as expensive, acrimonious and difficult as possible and I will eventually complain to my MP who should have had enough sense to tell the ONS that they could have only basic info about residents. (Name, birthdate, nationality). <br /><br />Still, that's another lot of public-sector jobs we can slash by half. The ONS shouldn't have been allowed to ask stupid questions in the first place. They were clearly only doing make-work and managed to get the legislation to entrench it. They will be winkled out in The Reckoning. <br /><br />If Cameron was any kind of a Conservative or had a smidgen of sense he would have realized the Census is unnecessarily antagonizing and remembered where that got the John Major government. "Don't piss people off untill you really have to" should be tattooed on their bums (so someone can read it to them) as John Major found out when he finally lost the election for a hundred little reasons, even though he had corrected the central mistake of his government and shock, horror, the economy was not bad, considering. <br /><br />Tell them this for free: don't tell lies and don't threaten me, it just makes me dig in.Another Anonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-59596649306098732422011-05-04T21:05:12.224+01:002011-05-04T21:05:12.224+01:00"There is no official cut-off date for return..."There is no official cut-off date for returning the forms"<br /><br />If there is no cut-off how can they fine for non-completion!?Ro-me-rohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819091346046398672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-84127174723977052062011-05-04T17:42:23.704+01:002011-05-04T17:42:23.704+01:00Amen to all of the above!

I walked down the street for a few minutes, and by the time I came back they were gone.

It says so in the Yorkshire story:
"...Steven,<br /><br />It says so in the Yorkshire story:<br /><br />"But with just days to go till the May 6 online deadline, officials in Hull say the apathy could cost £344m over the next decade."<br /><br />This relates to online completions.<br /><br />The Scottish story says:<br /><br />"There is no official cut-off date for returning the forms, although Wednesday marks the deadline to complete the census online in either English or Gaelic."<br /><br />CR.Captain Rantyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07839241144954596066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-75815844629737079582011-05-04T12:10:03.713+01:002011-05-04T12:10:03.713+01:00Hi CR
