That's no good at all.Originally posted by Old Greg View PostYou are a worthy opponent and I fear that you will win. But, with the wind behind us, we will have two children by then who are foreign passport holders. I will put them down as white C Of E, British passport holders with joint national identities of British and English.

"How well do you speak English?"Originally posted by NickFitz View Post
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.

I tried that once, although in truth I was usually working away from home for weeks at a time.Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostI'm opting out - I'll turn off the lights and hide behind the sofa when the checkers come round.

They don't let go that easy.

You see, they can get govt. computing right when they really want to.Originally posted by fullyautomatix View PostGot mine yesterday.
Did it online 5 minutes ago.
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.

Isn't that racist if only the welsh get the questionOriginally posted by VectraMan View PostHeard on the radio today this is something to do with the welsh. Apparently the welsh have a question 17, which the rest of us don't get to see.

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.
