Gladys Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 45 minutes ago, The Old Git said: Apparently that number can’t be treated as a sequence number. I thought I heard a minister say that around 20,000 online forms had been completed. ETA https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/dont-panic-if-you-havent-completed-census/ Yes, my number was 7 figures, so not sequential.

Not ideal, but not a reason to kick off. Save your anger for the many things they've truely cocked up. This being one of them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have none of them so the question didnt require my input 😂 It was asking if 2 year olds had A levels or degrees. I'm not sure it was that sophisticated. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's literally the most important piece of feedback/research Government will get in the next decade. It's something that will to some extent impact all decisions made by the next Tynwald regime. It's not something that should have been cocked up in such a cack handed way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Isle of Man Government where failure and mediocrity are tolerated and often rewarded and celebrated. I'm sure there will be individuals there who put in a decent shift. The front line workers usually are the decent ones. They're failed by management. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 1 hour ago, AlanShimmin said: They have indeed had a very busy few days. They've unexpectedly had to produce and arrange the posting out of reams of hard-copy Census forms for a process that was supposed to be online by default, by their own statement, and which for a great many people proved not to be. Must have been a considerable amount of extra work. Just as well they were being paid for it. By us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have done something, nope he stayed schtum!

If HRH The Chief Minister won’t exercise his authority and grow a set, show he understands actually does something, then I’m afraid it’s down to the voters. Tim nice but Dim was many things, but he must be a better bet, and I think Kate Lord Brennan will get in as well. You can rely on us, 4 less votes from this household and less another 10 from family.
