census 27th march..what is the relative time of declaration?

[kinell]

typical government 'servants',

nowhere can i discover the relative time to which many questions relate.....

logically it should be 23.59 on 27th march.....

why dont they say?

with kids staying for a sleepover on saturday/sunday are they to be included if i fill out the form after breakfast?

if you are having a party on sunday night with a go home time of 1.00 am on monday do you include the 'stickers' but exclude the lightweights who leave before midnight,

presumable (only) a small amount of thought has gone into the compilation of this form,
much of the data will be useless

I think they expect people to use a bit of common sense,

on closer inspection of a form.......

include those staying overnight on the 27th march.....

in line with the pedantic club on here.......before what time on monday morning does it not count?

it is about the people sleeping in your house so if your "stickers" have rampant sex in one of your bedrooms, they need to be included. You can include "sexual pervert" in the column for profession for them.

DT, but they wont be sleeping though !

If people stop overnight and go home the next day to fill in their own census form I suggest you forget all about them. No doubt that's wrong but, what the hell, who cares? I have already filled in my form. Should anyone stop over Sunday night, tough.

I am housesitting at my next door neighbours house but on the form I am not.I will be on my own form.Maybe I'll be arrested for falsifying information.Oh well.

I've sent mine off already, I expected it to say Computer says No!

You still have to be on your own form anyway. As the form says "who usually lives here?" Overnight visitors just go on the back page.

It refers to the night of 27th-28th March. There's no set hour. You basically need to say who is resident at the address on that night, even if they're moving out the next day.

You'll need to state whether anyone (who is not normally resident) is staying with you on that night, so that includes anyone who crashes at your place at 2.00am on Monday morning. They should be included as resident on the census form for their usual address - you won't need to fill in the form for them.
