sparks Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Nope, not a misprint... Apparently new census goons have been going around doing a 'survey' of the census response.... Link The Census Coverage Survey (CCS) is an independent survey carried out six weeks after the census to help us check the results of the census and make sure our population estimates are as accurate as possible..... The households and people counted in the CCS are matched with those recorded in the census so that we can estimate the number and the characteristics of people who were not included on a census questionnaire. Which of course means they realise they have spent a fortune on collecting a load of b*llocks! This census census isn't even compulsory, although of course they don't always state that... Census bosses say sorry for "intimidating" letter CENSUS bosses have issued a grovelling apology to an Irvine pensioner after threatening to fine him for refusing to take part in a doorstep survey. Hugh Teyhan filled in his form and sent it away on time but a fortnight ago the 68-year-old was shocked when a Census Survey Co-ordinator turned up at his home in Bencleuch Place, Irvine, and demanded he take part in a Census Coverage Survey. The OAP told the woman that he did not need to take part and she left, but days later he receieved a letter claiming that he “had a legal obligation to do so and was liable for a £1000 fine for non-participation.” “The tone of this letter is threatening and intimidating and could easily cause distress to people,” said Hugh. So, there's another bunch of w*nkers that should be told to simply f*ck off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
