I work away from home so don't have the luxury of checking my mail every day or to keep up with stupid and unnecessary officious changes.

It took me about ten seconds to confirm my details online, just like it did last year. If you can't be bothered to do that, I don't imagine you'll be going to all the trouble of voting.

Did it online, using a fake email address, so the mugs who rented this place before me still 'live here'.

Now I can bin any junk mail as it doesn't have my name on it, so don't even bother opening it anymore. Illegal? What mail? Didn't receive any.

Did'nt send back the form but had a 'man round from the council' knocking on the door asking for us to confirm the details as correct.

There is no escape

Do you still have to pay council tax if that happens?

We've registered twice this year and they keep sending us the urgent form.

Maybe it's because we keep ticking the box saying "I do not wish to have my details sold to spammy marketers".

I can only imagine that they either keep losing our form or think that if they keep sending it maybe we'll forget to tick that box
