I can sort of see their point on that one. If they just included the 'main' religions there would be howls of protest from all the lunatic sects which didn't get mentioned. |

Might get a better picture up here by just having Christian, there's no chance of mongs up here ticking Protestant/Catholic because they hate Catholics/Protestants/Celtic/Rangers/Neil Lennon/The Pope/The IRA/The UVF/Masons/Whateverthefuckotherirrelevantisgettingdraggedupthesedays and not because they are religious. In other news I've still no got mine yet. |

We got our form hand delivered and the man wrote the name of the head of the household on the top, they're coming this week to collect them. I believe everyones got hand delivered, from what others have said, so they should have no trouble fining people who don't fill them in over here! As Ramsea proclaimed himself head of the household, I made him fill the form in. I should have checked it really, as god only knows what he's written in it.... |

We got too Census forms. One addressed to Flat 9F, one addressed to Flat F, 9-11. Our address is flat 9F so I completed that form and sent it in. Other, not completed. May have been recycled. Have now had 3 chasers of increasing threat level for the 9-11 form. However, they always visit when we're at work. Looking forward to actually meeting them and explaining the very basic error being made here. |
