I am really concerned about this now seriously, as I think I will be missing from the 1991 and 2001 census.....

I was running a team that did the 1981 census, that included coding all the replies, punching and verifying the cards and working really long hours to input hundreds of thousands of enrties.

Never again!

A few people have suggested photocopying the census records before you hand it back in.....it saves people waiting or paying out in 100 years time lol

You're a daft old bat Hayley. Honestly!

I remember the 2001 and vaguely remember the 1991 - although I'd just lost my mum and it was a bit of a blur ...

The 2001 was umpteen pages long and asked all sorts of questions around things like education "Do you have a degree?" etc.

Aren't they threatening to ask questions about your sexual orientation on the 2011? (Not yours personally of course but everyones!)

It is indeed . I can remember filling in the last one ( 2001 ) but oddly enough I can't remember doing any before that........lol

My brother , in the past , has delivered / collected the forms ( that was a bit of a revelation to me when he mentioned it ) .

heard today on the radio that councils are hoping to employ people to help with the gathering of information forms for the 2011 census the last census I remember being included on was the 1981 I can say I haven't filled out a form since (even then I was at school and Mum did it, I thought it was just done automaticly. Is it a from filling excerise?
