    Know what you mean, but the govt tends to steer clear of public schools (of course they are all educated in them but they tend not to legislate about them)

    Do they put a filter in for the Cockneys or the Meeja Mockneys? They might answer "very well", but as we all know that's not true.

    Oh, the religion question is voluntary.

    "How would you describe your national identity?"

    Yorkshire.

    I tried that once, although in truth I was usually working away from home for weeks at a time.

    A chap from the council finally came around on a Sunday afternoon and got me to fill it out on the spot.

    They don't let go that easy.

    My god, it is pretty intrusive, you feel like they have stripped you naked and examined you with a microscope.

    On the plus side, the online form was very easy to use and reliable. Well done to whoever was in charge of the software.
    You see, they can get govt. computing right when they really want to.

    Can somebody welsh tell us what it is?
    Isn't that racist if only the welsh get the question

    The more indigenous British people do that, the worse the immigration figures will look, which will hopefully be an incentive for the Government to curb it more.
