It asked you to answer the questions as if it was today, guessing if you knew what you would be doing, how you'd be travelling to work, having people staying over or being away from home yourself.

Or I mis read it and ill get a fine for screwing the system

Talking Re: Census

You can tell you've been a student too long when multi-choice questions make you nervous. I think I did well though given my lack of study .

I had no idea how to answer the religion question though, ticking "no religion" makes you seem lazy or indecisive so I wrote "Atheist" in the box as well.

Remember that was a common choice for a UK census a few years ago to fudge the figures

Should do that with the work duties question and put "Browsing Facebook, Wikipedia and English Russia, endulging in idle gossip". I think there is some room for discression.

Same here for the last one.

I object to giving details of my employer and place of work, so my place of employ is simply an office in Auckland. I was very tempted to list my duties as paper shuffling and following up after useless wassocks.

They always like to throw in a controversial one. Q25 How many babies have you given birth to?

Yes I filled in for the other half too, hence it will be publicly known that he's a lazy barsteward and did no cooking, cleaning or work around the home in the past seven days.

me too! I thought most of the questions were ok but was also a bit unhappy about giving the name and address of the company I work for - that's a bit too intrusive I think!

Just finished, only remembered when I clicked on here and spotted this thread. All rather dull, not many interesting questions at all. For religion I just wanted to put My Little Pony.

Saying that when I worked in the UK, I worked with a prisoner who was a Jedi, due to his lack of much to do (you know being inside and all) he spent most of the days thinking of ways he could exercise his religious rights.
