Ahh, so that explains yesterday's knock at the door.

The one I had was quite an attractive young blonde. She was really polite, I said it hadn't been done yet, and she just said can we do it as soon as possible.

Wonder if she'll come back if we don't send it hehe

I completed the form online about 4 weeks ago and have had three knocks & reminder cards now - idiots! They can keep wasting their time.

Pretty sure the last chap on my door step would have done it for you if you asked nicely.

There was a note at the end that stated if you didn't "submit" the completed information on the date of the census it would be automatically submitted.

Stunning. People spend longer whinging about it than it takes to fill it in.


ETA - took 5 minutes online.

Yeah, that would be about right.

She seemed far too nice to get tough with anyone who hadn't submitted theirs yet.

They'll probably send some mentalist next time.

I'm currently abroad and will be for a few more months and so won't be able to complete the census

What happens if I don't fill it in? Do I just cease to be or something?

If you weren't there on the 27/03 why would you need to fill it in.

You will become persona non grata and you won't be readmitted back into the country.

With Royal Mail (God bless 'em) 'losing' somewhere between 500,000 and 1,000,000 items of mail each year (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1231012.stm), is it any wonder mine never keeps making it...
