did yesterday in washable blue ink in most scruffiest writing i could do. sadly on the way to the postbox i dropped the envelope in a puddle.
Even in an urban area - I'm doing it in Greenwich, London - it's a lot quicker on a bike than on foot and there are no car parking problems. I'd imagine that it would be great to be biking it in a semi-rural area. But because it's very stop-start whilst riding (only 7 miles during 6 hours last Sunday) I've taken to leaving the computer at home - the average speed ends up taking a hit. Generally, whilst doing the early collecting (much of it involves households of more than six - continuation forms if they can't get online - and figuring out why questionnaires couldn't be delivered - usually because the council has never been too good at keeping accurate records) people seem to actually like the idea of the ''government'' turning up on their doorstep by bike.
Oh, if you do it on a bike, get clearance to use your own rucksack rather than the government issue rubbish - they're called ''dover bags'' and they're complete and utter tosh.
What's with the disdain towards the Census?
If you have two or more A levels you also have 1 A level.Ahh but there is also an answer later on which explicity says 2 or more 'A' level, so we're back to lying whatever combination of answers I give.
I know humanists/atheists have issues with it as the religion question (optional) overestimates the religiosity/Christianity of England/Wales

Otherwise, I think it's a general feeling of anti-establishment, without wanting to join Rupert and his chums chucking bins through bank windows.![]()

Are you sure he's not one taking the "sedating chemicals" - I wonder why he's going to Morocco?![]()
The fine is £1000 if you really refuse to fill it in - although I don't think they chase most people that hard.
You'll probably just be fined a few hundred Arch, for lateness![]()
I don't understand the hostility towards the census. The data provides a useful source of statistics, without delving too far into peoples lives. The questions arn't too probing and it only takes about 5 minutes to fill out the individual section. Some people look for a reason to be annoyed.
