Census 2021

[Cherie]

Have you filled it in.

Thank God it has moved online, the paper version was a nightmare.

[arista]

Yes.

[Cherie]

Yes.

We are ahead of the game Arista!

[bitontheslide]

ive done mine too. With lockdown, it's pretty easy to predict who will be staying at the house on Sunday.

Is it just me or are the questions much more invasive than they were last time round?

[UserSince2005]

Havent had anything sent to my penthouse so who knows.

[Smithy]

I did mine the other day, don’t know why they needed answers to half the questions they asked

[James]

It was delayed in Scotland for a year.

[Toy Soldier]

Scottish census is delayed until 2022 cos of Comvids

Who is "refusing to be part of it"? You have to complete it by law :laugh:.

TS pretending to live in a country where everyone obeys the law...it used to be against the law not to pay TV licence as well, there is a fine for not completing the Census for a reason, it wouldn’t be necessary if everyone complied :shrug:

[rusticgal]

Yes...did mine 2 weeks ago for all the family.

[LeatherTrumpet]

Don't you get like a £10k fine for not doing it? :laugh:

[Nicky91]

census as in censorship?

:idc:

[thesheriff443]

Yes I did mine last week , and the online one seems to have less questions than the paper one had.

[rusticgal]

When ours came through the post...it was addressed to 'Homeowner'..no address on it. When I opened it and saw the 10,000 fine if you fail to do it..I got on my laptop and did it.
If I had chosen not to do it and chucked it in the bin...how can anyone prove I received it in the first place let alone fine me??

They start with the same four letters but that's pretty much the only similarity

[Vicky.]

Had to do both ours and mother in laws as she hasnt got a computer...

Started with hers thinking it would be quick. Took bloody 10 mins to do hers.

Moved onto ours which was a pisstake. They were asking me about stepdaughters A levels, degrees, if shes in the army, her job...right after I answered that she was 16 and still in senior school for ****s sake.

I don't think they would actually fine. Its just to scare people into not ignoring it tbh. As no way could they prove you ever got the letter..

That’s what I thought....only thought of it after I had done it. :laugh:

[Cherie]

From memory they rock up and hand deliver if you don’t fill it in...I guess after that you would get a few reminders then maybe a fine I don’t know

[Vanessa]

Done it yesterday online.

[GoldHeart]

Done it yesterday online.

Same

[Vicky.]

This seems...ott. So many in the UK, must take a lot of effort t work out which ones have not filled in V being empty properties or whatever. Then to go round physically...

Next time, wont bother with mother in laws, if it means they will just turn up and go through a paper one with her tbh :laugh:

[Denver]

No and nor will I do it

[GoldHeart]

No and nor will I do it

You'll get fined if you don't

[thesheriff443]

I remember getting a reminder to do it so one year, I think they take it seriously.

I don't think they would do it with her, they would just remind her to do it herself and give her another form if she had lost it, they employ people specifically around census time to do just that, I would imagine they work off Council tax records and the electerol roll

[Vicky.]

Yeah misread you totally there like :laugh:

She tried to pay me 50 quid to do it man...glad it was me as if it had been anyone else round hers they would have taken the cash :S I thought I was doing all internetty stuff for her already, but it turns out some forms she panics about and gets others to do, which is why she has this insane idea that a half hour form should cost that much for someone to do :umm2:

[Denver]

You'll get fined if you don't

I'll fight them if they want

[smudgie]

Done a while back.

[LaLaLand]

Just done ours now.

[arista]

BBC1AM just said last time
120 were finned or went to court.

But Typical of Arrogant BBC
nothing said about those with no internet?

[Josy]

I was panicking the other day seeing lots of people talk about it elsewhere a thought oh **** I musta thrown the letters out then I searched and found out ours is delayed.

[James]

The one for Scotland now has to be submitted by 1st May 2022. I was just doing it there.

[LeatherTrumpet]

i did my one last week

[Josy]

Done mine yesterday online

[arista]

I'll fight them if they want


Why so angry?

[James]

A lot of people in Scotland haven't completed it yet, and the deadline was extended.
