I can answer your question in my capacity as Chief Inspector of British Perversions (Census Division).
Yes, that is what it means. But don't bother completing your form as we've already got a red mark against your name.

I have fun with that question when speaking to people whose parents were born out side the country of England. If you are born in England, you are English plain and simple. If you were born in Canada, then you would be Canadian..Sorry fella you are English. I am the reason cut throat razor's have been banned.

It's for when Nick Clegg takes his mask off to reveal he is really a tyrannical right wing dictator with the Bloody Nationalist Socialist Movement Sunday Party of Great Britain. When this happens, all these lists unknowingly completed in peace times and with full trust of a naive population will swing into action to cut your benefits, increase your tax, throw you out onto the street and in short punish you severely for having a very good time now.
This will be done on the reasoning that it is good for the economy to have anyone who may have been making a success of their life being given a hard time. After that the Essex Chronicle will interview you and ask if you want a free copy of the photo they print in the paper, and give you a £5 blue rinse voucher at "Sally's hair saloon" in Harlow New Town.

Really that is interesting logic you have there, by that logic I'm not dual nationality (I hold a British and an Irish passport) and my cousin who was born when his parents were working abroad is actually Zimbabwean!
Officially, in 1983 the law in the UK changed and you are only a british citizen by birth if one of your parents is a british citizen or is settled here (with a right to work, not an illegal immigrant) so being born in GB doesn't legally make you British! The world is too much with us,
Could we not now just elope?

If I have a kidnap victim, a slave in bondage and a serving sissy maid do I need to declare all of them? Maybe I should ring the helpline????????
Had a similar dilema a few years ago when they were conducting a road census locally - driving around in the kidnap mobile I dreaded being pulled over to answer the compulsary questions.....
'Is your trip business or pleasure'?
'Gagged muttering .... its both I've paid for this service!'
'Do you travel this road often'?
'I have no idea where I am as the blindfold is dark'
'will you be using this road again in the next week'?
'Sorry I don't know when I will be free to answer that question'
Arghhhhhh
Be naughty so that I can spank you!

The question is about ethnicity, not nationality.
The Census includes these three questions:
What is your country of birth?
How would you describe your national identity?
What is your ethnic group?
In fact it's not incorrect as you can tick the following box:
A White: English/Welsh/Scottish/Northern Irish/British

D. And why its going to cost us 5 Billion to do it that's sterling not Dollars by the way...
Sorry for bringing this up but does anyone else think this stinks like Tony Blair's laundry basket. Incidentally I would not surprised if that grinning turd had something to do with this as part of his portfolio for J P Morgan the clearing bank his new boss's if you did not already know.
And before anyone replies using words such as "Conspiracy" & "Nut" in the same sentence I'm neither. I woke up and smelt the coffee while I walk through life with my eyes wide open.

(D) would indeed be a very fair question, but the way you pronounce £480,000,000 is "four hundred and eighty million pounds", not five billion. The 2001 census cost £200 million ... inflation is partially blamed and multi-lingual versions (ie "blame the foreigners"!) is also blamed for the steep rise in cost this time round.
(A) ... the company which won the bid, presumably the lowest cost (ironic, given your (D)) was the same company which handled the census in 2001 and has established a specialised international business unit in census handling. Yes, if it's a CIA thing it's a really clever move and maybe that's the biggest secret of all - the 'C' in 'CIA' stands for 'Census', The Census Intelligence Agency!
Lockheed Martin UK's list of UK customers is quite small, only 9 (ref List of Customers). However the 9 are:
Census Department, Department of Trade and Industry, Department for Transport, Home Office, Ministry of Defence, Metropolitan Police, National Air Traffic Service, Office of Government Commerce, Royal Mail
Somehow getting worked up about what the Census Intelligence Agency might know about us from the rather vague stuff entered on a census form pales into insignificance compared to what they might know about us through all the other involvements they're perhaps capable of being alleged to have.
I just wish Lockheed Martin would get on and deliver the air-planes our (being built now) new aircraft carriers are intended to have (Lockheed Martin F-35 STOVLs) to try and time the delivery of planes with the provision of ships. Mind you, maybe that's the Census Intelligence Agency's cunning plan - get the Brits to sail around in their big boats with no planes. Huh, the truth will out as always!

Hmmm I shall have my inside guy flogged drawn and quartered for his error in accounting or did I just hear it wrong...
However on the F35... well its a complete pile of SHIT really.. The seals on the venturi nozzles keep going, it suffers the same structural fatigue problems as the F22 and the tail assembly suffers from structural fracture. Add to that software issues, power generation was only 65% of what it should be and the Pilots New helmet is naff. Oh and its stealth capabilities pale into insignificance when using Microwave based targeting as proved by 2 Euro fighters engaging and downing 2 F-22's from 18 Nautical Miles out at China Lake a few years ago.
Well I think that probably gets me “GEEK” status I shall be ridiculed by subbies for having a week whip arm and a copy of airplane news in my back pocket sigh....
