Re: religion. Whose genius idea was it to include no subdivisions of, say, Islam, but even to lump all christian churches in together?
I agree. At the very least options to identity oneself as Roman Catholic or Anglican/Protestant would have been welcome.
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.

And are Mormons Christians?

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.

They would say they are. I would disagree.
The Jedi bit is important if silly. There are more Jedi's than Jews in the UK. 400k odd,
Proper job.
Was anyone else hoping that the answers to "what is your religion?" and "what is your job title?" bits would also be "Other (Cornish)"?
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....

Whereas I put "Software engineer" and "Engineer software." Which isn't anywhere near as good, but is at least pleasingly symmetrical.

I did mine on Chrome too.
I cut letters from potatoes and pressed them into the blood of a virgin crow before marking the paper. Except for the letter S. And I had to make my C onto an E as I was struggling with curves and ran out of spuds.

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.

What witty entry under "religion" will the Internet insist we enter this time round?
Except for viewers in Scotland.

It's just occurred to me that the stats on where people work and how they get there might be very different this time round due to the Event.

She can deploy any force she deems necessary, up to and including "Stern Words".

Blimey. Has she been trained for that?
She's been given a very informative pamphlet, and she's read most of it!
Just be careful what you say and do around her now.
