Tell yer all this, DON'T fill in yer census forms, just do like Jams done, put on the envelope Return To Sender. and post it back or put it in the bin (better still)
My reason for not filling it in is:
1 Too Fcuking long winded to fill in (too busy doing other important things).
2 This country has done rock all for me when I needed help.
3 I buried me old lady recently and got no funeral grant cos she had £1,600 left to me in a prudential she paid in to, when I aplied for a funeral grant I was told I was being awarded £00.00 towards her burial, in other words pay for it yerself from me old lady's Prudential.
Last time census was out 10 yeaRS BACK a chinese woman came to me flat and said I come for your census form, a said if yer want it, it's in the dust bin!!
so don't be intimidated that yer gotta fill em in, just rip em up.

It says on the envelope that you are required by law to fill it in.

To be honest, I can't be assed either, but will do though, when my wife gets round to it.

It wont be in the pent... It will be a 1000 quid fine straight on the spot... And most likely if you cant pay it then you might have your assets taken away and sold in an auction.

You better off filling that form in and sending it to them.

At least this time they have got english down for nationality.Last time if I remember right, the choice was scottish,Welsh,or british.Still not got 'Jedi Knights' as a religion though.

For the benifit of our younger members.About 10000 people,put Jedi Knights as their religion, last time.

Not looked at this form yet, but last time you had to state how many people were in the property on a specific night - we had a party, 100 people stayed over, didn't get any new facilities in the area though
