You have another two weeks to complete it. You’re able to do it from the time you receive the letter with the access code. I don’t understand why so many feel they need to do it this evening.

If they had stated on the letter we had a three week window to complete it then I'm sure it would have eased the pressure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Still waiting for paper versions to be sent. Same with neighbours. It sounds like it has been a total default failure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTail Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 2,000 years ago the Romans seemed to manage a census. Joseph, Mary and Jesus had to be in a certain place at a certain time to be counted. The Isle of Man seems to have gone backwards since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you die or get admitting to hospital or arrested in the meantime, or have to travel at short notice Yes all unlikely, but not impossible and exactly why it should be done tonight. Same applies to people who did it early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trmpton Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 A quick look at fb tonight would suggest this is exactly the clusterf**k many of us expected it to be. Just another total government shambles. In the private sector people would lose jobs over this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Git Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Wouldn’t expect it to be statistically significant. Presume you could say you’ve already made a census return to the hospital / police? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you die before completing the census then they probably won't come after you for getting it in late. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
