harvey19 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Excellent record of the population and their addresses. I wish they would release details from those taken less than 100 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 As dosxuk mentions, it might well be the last time that it's conducted in its current format, precisely because it's large, expensive and unwieldy, and by the time you know what the results were from 2011, it's early 2014 and they're no longer accurate. In today's world, there are quicker and better ways of collecting and collating this information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimay Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I didn't know about the forthcoming census. Thanks for the warning. I'll be putting my religion as Jedi again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndholyoak Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 im sure some boffins will spend hours over it so they can make very interesting graphs to share with other like minded boffins. the money could be spent better elsewhere Not all 'boffins' like the census although I do think its useful but just as stupid at the same time. I bet 5% of people don't even bother to look at their census paper. I'll be putting my religion as Jedi again. I'm having Sheffield United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old_Bloke Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I don't mind filling out the sections that just ask for relatively basic info because it's all available elsewhere anyway. But why should I tell the government how I travel to work - what's it got to do with them??! You can see the list of questions in a pdf downloadable from this page.
