Census Stupidity - IanJohnson
A38 Roundabout at Lichfield, 0700 this morning.

Stationary/stop-start traffic, coned down to one lane (this is a rural NSL dual carriageway). Pass a sign saying "Census" adn decide I am going to tell them I am travelling from Holyhead to Norwich on my daily commute . . . but. . .

They are not stopping anyone - so why do it?

perhaps they were waiting for the BiB to make the "request to stop"!

Census Stupidity - madf
They were waiting for it to get really busy with rush hour traffic so they could cause maximum inconvenience...

Perhaps they saw your nose growing and decided to wait for someone to give them accurate data.
