Do You Want A £1,000 Fine?

Have you filled in your Senseless Form yet?

They say that if you don't fill it in you can receive a fine of up to £1,000.

Does anyone know what the final date for filling it in and sending it up is? I don't think they have actually set a date for it.

Do you think that enough of them have been filled in correctly for them to extract any meaningful information - and is it information that could not have been extracted from existing data?

I know that my answers won't be of much use to them although none of them are inaccurate

 

My, Oh my, Shiney, you are such a cynic:yess: Ever since Parliament was invented and Civil [I use that term loosely] Servants were classified as Amoebas information has been gathered not to be used, but abused.
In this age of cuts and recession why shouldn't we spend hundreds of million of badly needed money on something as idiotic as to whether we have porridge or cornflakes for breakfast - all that sort of information can be used in the defense and improvement of this fine nation - can't it I mean it has in the past, hasn't it
There seemed to be on every street corner people wearing helpful smiles and the Census uniform who stopped you to ask if you had completed the Census or had difficulty in filling it out. I would have told them where to go but I noticed the females in them were wearing brass knuckles

 

Sounds fine to me, Clueless. I'm sure HM Government will carefully study it, store it, and consult it when taking decisions that will effect the Country's major policies for the next two decades.

 

Wow!!! Chopper, do you really believe half of what you see?

With anything to do with the government I don't believe even that much of what they show me.

I'm curious about how they handle anything that is not just a tick or a simple answer on the form. As it is read by computer, and we all know how good the government's new computer systems have turned out, they are going to have to have a team of bored out of their minds civil servants handling the rejected forms. As there are bound to be tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of forms that don't fit the computer specs (I just got a sudden thought of loads of myopic government computers ) I very much doubt that there are going to be enough people (if any) to go through them by hand.

I'm sure that they could have got more accurate information from paying Nectar and Club Card to extract the information from their databases. e.g. They could probably work out a lot of peoples' religions from what they buy around the period of religious festivals. They would, of course, have to exclude things like the purchase of Easter eggs and Christmas decorations but the result wouldn't be any more inaccurate than there being 400,000 Jedi at the last Census.

 

Hi Fidgetsmum,
don't worry, we still love you

We've reached the deadline!!!!!! :gaagh:. Run around in panic everyone. The Census police will be after you

Oh well, that's another chance to have a go at the government finished for a while.

Now where shall I look so that I can poke fun at something else :D
