Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

They say there is a lack of humour in the financial section? But every time my partner looks over my shoulder at my portfolio she comments "Thats a joke" Soooo Cruel !!!

I can not understand your pride in ignoring the census form even if u think that it is a waste of time and money.You were asked to give a short period of time to respond to the questions ,(which were not difficult to answer), because it has been proven in the past for the government of this country to have some understanding of the likely population movement of the future is helpful.
You may not agree, but I do hope that they come looking for u and issue a fine for not complying with the request.

I have never filled in a census and I have been around to fill in at least 5. They don't try too hard to get you to fill it in.

They won't care about the previous ones. In fact they have no way of knowing as the details are not recorded that way. They will just say fill it in and keep coming back. Then they get bored and don't come back. That's the way it always happens. Or you could tell thwem that you have posted it off and they have lost it. They mostly come when I am out anyway.
There may be about 60 million people in the Uk, but there are only about 25 million households. That means that nearly 30% of the households have not filled it in. They stand no chance of getting them filled in.

Yes, I understand that but now that we are "All in this Together" I assumed that you would like to make this voluntary contribution.

Why do they have to ask about health problems? The NHS has all that information anyway. Similarly with most of the questions asked.

A wife asks her husband "Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6!"
A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk.
The wife asks him, "Why the hell did you buy 6 cartons of milk?"
He replied, "They had eggs."

Like the labourer on a building site who was asked to get 20 Benon & Hedges and if they don't have them then anything will do.
He returned with a pork pie.

Did you know that Lockhed Martin the US defense contractor is running out census and has all the data. Would they pass on data to the US government if asked?

They are welcome to my data if they want it. Nothing to hide.

Does anyone doubt that the US has free access to all data held by our government however collected?

H/S,
Yes, I did know about the LM connection and don't think much of it, but will probably still co-operate. 40%, is that higher then the last one in London?
