Simply 19 funny tweets about Census Day that should be preserved for posterity

Census Day has come and gone, so if you live in Northern Ireland, Wales or England, you should have submitted your form if you don’t fancy getting a £1000 fine.

Scotland postponed its participation due to the pandemic.

As with any big event, Twitter had some thoughts on the matter – and we particularly enjoyed these.

I absolutely REFUSE to fill out #Census2021 & tell the government all my personal information!
I guess I've just become a much more private person since my anal prolapse, third divorce & that public nudity case.

My mum’s in a panic because she filled in the census for my little brother and listed his occupation as ‘barrister’ rather than ‘barista’ and I am being no help at all because I can’t stop laughing.
