Census Forms

[SCSB79]

Have people in ED started receiving these yet?

We're in the Goodrich/Dunstans area and not had it yet...

[binary_star]

Yes, sent ours off last week.

[SCSB79]

Do you know if they are doing it in any sort of order???

Just read on the website, should be delivered by 18th...

We're on Overhill and had ours at least a week ago...

[HonaloochieB]

Got mine early last week - debating whether to send it in early or not bother - I sent it early last time and nothing happened.

[Siduhe]

Not received ours yet - Underhill/Melford borders.

Let's us put 'Jedi' down under religion!!!!!!

It'll be absolutely BRILLIANT, because then 'JEDI' will actually, like, become an offical religion of the UK!!!!!!! Go on, it'll be BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the funniest thing ever.

I've just tried it online. Used my access code to get in without problem, saw that I had the right web form with my name and address on, completed a few pages, ending each with a 'save and continue', then a 'save and come back later', which flagged up as an error.

Since then, all attempts to log back in again have met with a "The Internet Access Code you have entered may be incorrect; please check and try again.".

Page reloads, browser restarts and cookie clearing haven't made any difference. Perhaps it's a glitchy or time- or session-limited error. It would be a strange system that accepts a login code and then permanently disables it for no obvious reason, so I'll have another try later today or tomorrow.

Has anyone experienced similar or, better still, had no problems? I wouldn't want to put people off doing an online return.

[Cassius]

Got mine today and filled it in the old fashioned way (took all of 5 minutes) and I didn't even have to put the computer on.

Well that could have completely fucked things up. You weren't meant to fill it in until March 27th.

Only if your foreskin has been removed by a lightsabre

[*Bob*]

Lightsabre, not foreskin.

Helmut on or off ?

Now back in again ok. My problem was probably a consequence of not having formally logged out after seeing the error message after trying to submit an uncompleted page. The log out happened ten minutes later, when the system timed me out.

I will not be filling out my census form this time... which is illegal. I can only hope that millions of other will not want to give their data to a US arms company, and will object to the ?150 million contract being given to them, when public sector jobs are being lost!

I'm not signing mine and here's why.Please sign the petition

[PeckhamRose]

If you do fill it out though and you are not religious, PLEASE mark NO which is the first option.

And correct, they are supposed to reflect what is occurring on 27th.

That's disappointing Jah Lush. The census is one of the most important tools in helping to determine future services. As a charity sector worker, I regularly find myself quoting the 2001 census in order to demonstrate need as a way of accessing vital funds for work. Whatever you think about the administration of the process, it is foolhardy to undermine the collection of this valuable data.

[*Bob*]

I say we all put 'Sikh' down. It'll be BRILLIANT.

If everyone ticks Sikh, then the government will be brought to its knees - and Lockheed Martin will collapse. Probably.

[Jah Lush]

Sarcasm *Bob*. That's you that is.
