Got my 2011 Census to complete in the post this morning. I ended up completing it online and it took 10-15 minutes to do, just in case anyone was fretting about the Census! You get a personal internet access code on the first page that you use to log in online.

Yes it is. You could face prosecution if you don't complete it and also for fibbing on it.

And therein lies the irony of the Census. Those that we really need to know about won't be filling one in! LOL.

I'd love to get away without filling this in!
Why should I spend 10-15 mins giving the government statistics to look at when......
My cost of living has rocketed along with the price of petrol thanks to the government, my wages haven't gone up and will be frozen at it's current rate for the next two years thanks to the government, my pension I pay 11% of my wages into every month is being reviewed and they want me to contribute more thanks to the government!!!
Yea I'd love to do them a favour and waste my time!

Just submitted my census online. Struggled a bit with the question "where did your 3 month old son live 1 year ago"!

The official census date is 27 March 2011 and it asks for submission on that date or as soon as possible afterwards. If you don't submit it they will send you reminders and then eventually someone will knock of your door. I'd guess you've got a couple of weeks before anything serious happens.
