CJGJ Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Has anyone received census paperwork/forms ? I received it recently but have been told Scotland's is not until March 2022 What was the point in issuing forms if it's not for another 12 months or should we send the form in anyway ? I believe it is a 'must complete form' or you could be fined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Ireland has also postponed its 2021 Census to 2022, as have Romania and Germany. Serbia's has been postponed until October 2021. India has postponed initial data collection and is considering a longer postponement. It's the third census that Ireland has postponed in my lifetime. It's less of a big deal here, because we hold a census every 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can have the 2021 Holyrood election, why can't we do the census. You know, I think people in Scotland are getting sick of the faked differences. Many people are living elsewhere, not at work and doing things they usually wouldn't be doing. Why don't the UK put it back for a year. Anyway, we'll be doing everything differently from rUK pretty soon. So why don't you get your tea towels washed and dried for your big party on the 21st of June. Because it'll be the last. How's the self diagnosis getting on? What have you got this week. Edited March 22, 2021 by ri Alban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffin Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Completed the census for England. Other than getting to work on foot rather than the car I don't think anything changed for me due to Covid and that change will still be the case next year too. There's not much in it that is changed by Covid really I didn't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Sunday in the middle of the fortnight, their census was being done, we were instructed to stay in our rooms until we had our details were taken. This happened about 10am and were were allowed to go out. The streets and beach were near deserted, it was bliss, really surreal. Didn't get back to normal until about 6 at night. Best day of the holiday for me. Always wanted to go back, but never have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I worked on the 1991 census here, we were told to ask anyone who had a caravan in their garden if anyone would be staying in it on census day. Felt a right divvy.

Felt a right divvy. I did the 2001 cencus. Earned a nice wee bit of extra pay. Some fellow citizens could be complete arseholes (surprisingly, it was not too bad) You had to take note of everyone in the house before giving them the form. When they were awkward, I just told them minmum required was names and DoBs, nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
