It's well worth filling in the census form accurately. Provision of local services is based on it. To the extent local services are provided, of course. It's a shame that the 2021 Census is electronic: I presume that the few who complete the paper form will have it converted into an electronic state and the papers will then be shredded. In 2011 I left a message in the additional comments boxes for my great-great-grandchildren who might be searching their ancestry in or after 2111. This year I'd hoped to write something like "Marty!

It's well worth filling in the census form accurately. Provision of local services is based on it. You forgot the winking smiley... To the extent local services are provided, of course. Well, it might have been true 150 years ago when most people were born, lived, married, had their children, and died without moving from the place they were born. Today it's completely different and most people move around many times throughout their lives, often hundreds of miles, or abroad, and back again. A census every ten years is a pointlessly expensive exercise in obtaining and analysing out-of-date information. If its local services that information is intended to provide it could be obtained more accurately and quickly through county and district councils, and many other sources of information, such as GP surgery registration info (anonymised, of course). There is. of course, a vast amount of information already online for the majority of the population, which is far more up-to-date than any census will ever be. So, despite previous UK governments saying they were going to stop the census (was it before the previous one or the one before that?), here we are again. It can only be for yet another form of official snooping - and isn't the UK already known around the world as one of the most snooping democracies around? Countries do not need to perform a census on their whole population every ten years. The Netherlands have not had a census for 50 years; the Scandinavian countries base their data on registers and sampling. Other countries also base their data requirements on, for example, a 10% sample every year or two. -- Jeff |

No Not true the telephone number if a free one and available widely, indeed
I heard it on the radio just this morning. If its not in the letter, then maybe that was because they printed them before the number was finalised, Scotland has deferred theirs till next year, and Wales has a different number. Can it really be that hard to ask a friend to get the number? I can say this, you will not be fined unless you constructively. they will be calling on addresses that do not respond later in the year, as the idea is that March 21 is census day, but not the day it absolutely has to be done.

Through the post today I received a request to fill out the census form with the threat if I didn't I would get a fine of up to £1,000 It looks as if Professor Sir Ian Diamond thinks everyone has internet access, Go to www.census.gov.uk and select "start census" If you want a paper form go to the same URL! -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

How do insurance companies cope with that question? My job title has been, for some years, "Senior Control and Instrumentation Engineer" or "Senior Control, Electrical and Instrumentation Engineer", with "Control" being the major part. For insurance, I have always had to put "Instrument Engineer", "Electrical Engineer" or "Engineering Consultant", as there is not mention of "Control" Engineering . My insurance broker persuaded me from the start to call myself an Instrument Maker rather than a Musical Instrument Maker because the first five letters of the full title lead insurance companies to believe that you are a doped-up waster who crashes cars and smashes up guitars in hotel rooms. I believe it's difficult to get car insurance if you know any famous guitarists in case they trap a finger in the door. I don't know how they would find out, but I expect they would invalidate the insurance if they did, regardless of the claim. -- Max Demian |

No Not true the telephone number if a free one and available widely, indeed I heard it on the radio just this morning. If its not in the letter, then maybe that was because they printed them before the number was finalised, Just saw someone on Twitter complaining about the same thing. They even posted an image of the letter - complete with the sentence giving the phone number. I pointed this out, and they blocked me. -- My posts are my copyright and if @diy_forums or Home Owners' Hub wish to copy them they can pay me £1 a message.
