    Got mine this morning. Filled in....don't recall being asked to name my employer on previous ones. In fact, there's a fair bit I don't recall from before.

    Oooops...that's what you get for not reading the instructions properly....o_O.
    I can't see anything changing between now and then.

    Don't panic! Somewhere in either the accompanying instructions or in the survey itself, it says the information can be submitted prior to the 21st so long as no changes are anticipated. We've already sent ours in. As @trevor@trevor suggests, 30+million census forms being submitted simultaneously might well blow the Govt's census fuse!

    I am looking forward to the release of the 1921 census later this year.
    Great for tracing family history, if you are interested.

    I have the right to not vote in an election if i see nothing worth voting for yet i COULD be fined a thousand pounds for not filling the census form in. I should then have the right not to fill in any form i see fit. I get quite annoyed when i am demanded to do something with a threat of a big fine.

    Don't fill it in then if you feel that strongly about it.

    Do you remember the good ol’ days Rog when we used to be able to make decisions for ourselves? Ah, they were good times.

    The extent to which we're now compelled, even legislated as to how we are to speak, move and even think, is scary. And yet, oblivious to some.

    Mine arrived yesterday and filled in no problem, some strange questions for sure but I cannot understand the precious people who seem to be frightened by giving any harmless information.
    I feel this census could be the last though, as so many will not comply it will be a pointless exercise.
