Mine has just arrived this very minute.

In 1971 when I was at secondary school we were asked to write an essay simply relaying what we did on the actual census day. The best two in the school (and I think from various other schools) were locked in a vault in the town hall to be opened at a date in the future (can't remember how long). Mine was chosen - I remember writing about going to youth club and a fight breaking out between a gang of skinheads and Hells Angels along with all the family stuff what we had for dinner etc etc. I'd love to be able to read it now.

I quite like the idea of being a bit of Croydon's history.

Soozy! would the town hall still not have the event on record - I think that sort of stuff is free to look at isn't it ?

But I think it's locked in a vault - not to be opened for perhaps a hundred years.

I may make some enquires though.

Oh right - I thought you meant like in 20/25yrs! like the Blue Peter one 
Let us know what they say 

when they opened the blue peter one water/rain had leaked into it

I'm not chasing them up,they can chase me up.

Oh well,it got delivered this evening.

I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered.

Completed the form on line ,takes about 15 minutes.

Thought it wasn't supposed to be completed until the 27th?

If your answers to the questions are the same now as they will be on the 27th then you can complete the form .Thats the info I was given,I completed the form online ,I was given a number at the end then submitted.

Don't forget!

 

Needs to be filled in tomorrow! Or £1000 fine!

 

Me thinks there will be a lot of people being fined though how will they police it will be interesting.

On or around the 27th it says. You don't think they're going to fine everyone who happened to be away on holiday or business, do you?

It doesn't have to be filled in tomorrow - it should be sent as soon as possible. If the form hasn't been received shortly after the 28th, reminders will be sent. Also census officials will visit the houses where no form received - they will offer to help the household complete the form.

 

The fines will only be charged on people who refuse to complete the form.

Thanks for the info El Loro.

 

Though spending all that money on this census is crazy. Better spent on bombing another country we want to steal oil from.

Ok, who did it yesterday/last night   Mine's still lying on the end cushion on the end of the settee 

I did it on line yesterday

I posted mine today ... what a waste of money

I posted two Censuses........but one of them wasn't mine. *Rebels* 

I said I travel to work by bus ... whereas I drive *rebels*

I also told them my health was bad (touch wood)

 

That should get them building another hospital

Jenny, why is your census form lying on Sproot's couch?

PMSL Fluffers! She doesn't live with me....I promise 

I did mine on Saturday and checked it over on Sunday, will post it tomorrow. (Well, that's today now. )

I got stuck on the question about my employment. 

Well, fancy that!

You can still fill it in, Cologne. They won't lock you up.

 Mine's still on the cushion on the settee
