Title: 2021 UK Census
Post by: CLKD on March 06, 2021, 09:55:10 AM: Our paper work arrived this morning. I can't remember the last time we filled one in, probably 10 years ago?

A lot has happened since ::)

Sunday 21st March 2021

Post by: CLKD on March 16, 2021, 01:14:51 PM: Why early? The idea is to find out how many people under 1 roof on 1 night every 10 years :-\. How many people will die if they fill it in early but not bother update the data?

There is a point to this Census but on-line gives more chance of irregular reporting.

Any1 watch the various 'who do you think you R'-type programmes where the Census have been really helpful finding out who was under the roof on 1 night every 10 years? DH is a bit sceptical ;D

If I get carted into hospital the last thing on my mind would be the census. ;D

Post by: CLKD on March 16, 2021, 07:42:12 PM: Exactly. Which is why it should be filled out on the specific day. 'all on the same page' as it were.

Post by: littleminnie on March 17, 2021, 09:17:50 AM: It is fine to fill it out in advance that why you are able to fill it in online now.

Post by: CLKD on March 17, 2021, 01:06:26 PM: I know that is what the Government tells us but I can't see the point .......... we've had R notification for 2 weeks :-\ but it's supposed to be a record of 1 night every 10 years.

Post by: CLKD on March 21, 2021, 09:57:54 AM: Done! I also filled in the 'what did you think' section and put "There was no opportunity of experiences of menopause" ;-)

DH pointed out that there is nothing about sports and other activities to fill in :-\
