Subject: RE: BS: UK Census - sensless questions.
Couple of thing realy puzzle me. They go to great lengths to say how confidential it all is and then say you will be prosecuted if you give incorrect information. If it is realy confidential how can they prosecute you in a public court? Eh eh eh???

Second, more genuine, concern. Questions about employment and education apply to those aged 16-74. There are loads of 16 year olds who have not yet left school and have not yet got any qualifications. Isn't this going to skew the figures somewhat? Ie - there will be a million or so (pure guess) more people who will show as unemployed and without qualifications than there is realy?

Finaly - there are loads of people putting their religion as 'Jedi'. I think I will put mine as Mudcat. Anyone with me?

Cheers
