2021 census in the U.K.
Received our census form yesterday. Census day is 21st of march. The census is all on line only though there is a free telephone number you can phone for help in filling in your household details.
So poor old granny and grandpa are expected to be computer savvy, blind or partially sighted have to phone, any other disabled person has to phone. The form says fill it in on the 21st or shortly thereafter and submit it on 21st.
Expect government computers to be overloaded and crash on that date.

Re: 2021 census in the U.K.
Received it two weeks ago here. All we got was an advice letter with a personal Identity login number. Took 5 minutes to fill in and simple to do.
You can apply to have a paper Cencus form sent if you prefer.

I am in that situation with my old aunty who has alzheimers, struggles to dial a number, even if it is in front of her, you can submit a paper request for the hard copy form, but she is still shielding and not even capable of walking to the nearest post box; arrived today and there are many repetitive and stupid questions like state your date of birth, do you attend school or are you a student, name requested on about 3 different pages etc

Re: 2021 census in the U.K.
Yesterday, my kids and I realised that we could choose our nationality in the census. So we picked 'other' and then typed in 'European'. I found out today that a lot of other people have had the same thought.

I thought you were proud to be Welsh?? It appears you are happier being a mongrel.

SO HE IS A fOREIGNER TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OUR BENEFITS AND NHS,
He criticizes our Government but not his own in Brussels
If all europeans are like that then we are far better off with Brexit.
