I'm one of those 16000 naughty people who filled it out on line before the night. Well if they didn't want you to do that then they shouldn't have made it possible. At least I got in whilst the site was quiet.
Now all I have to do is remember what I put??? Was I going to catch the bus today or drive?

The woman who delivered our census form on Sunday said you had two weeks to do it online. She said there was nothing to stop us doing it that night if we wanted.

They do say though that they prefer to get them a bit early rather than not at all.

Sounds good, can I come along too.

Has anyone got their paper form in front of them because I can't read something on mine - the form number, there's 7 numbers then 1 space then 4 numbers and 1 number - the space is it a letter or a tick? Ignore, now know they're letters, just can't read properly what letters they are

I am doing the collection and the form number at the top right should consist of 7 numbers a dash and one letter a dash then four numbers a dash and one letter. Hope this makes it clearer for you. Suzette.

Thanks, I think I've worked out what the letters are but the delivery guy has the most appaling writing - might be a doctor in his spare time
