Welsh Language Act!

Teaching in Wales or any Government Job (even local gov) Police, Ambulance, Nursing etc requires that the employee is bi-lingual by the year 2020 .... the original target was 2012 but it "slipped".... anywhoo they are trying to find out just how many people can actually speak it as the WAG want money to spend on teaching everyone the bloody lingo and the answers to that question will give a measure of just how much it is likely to cost.

Fear not Pastis .... it will never happen!

The more No answers the better eveilgrin: eveilgrin:

Filled my form in some time ago on line.

1st shitty reminder letter received today stating I am a non response , need to fill in or I will be hunted down and killed kinda thing  ::). So ring up the call centre , go through sixty thousand options , none of which allow you to speak to an actchewal personage until you stick with it.

Gonk comes on the phone and then checks records...oh yes we have received your details , just ignore our letters he says , we have some data matching issues

How inspiring  noooo: noooo: noooo:

Fvck me! They're quick off the mark. If completed on Sunday night/Monday morning (it is supposed to be an accurate record of who spent the night at your house) and you had posted it on Monday the Royal Mail would never have got it to them in time for them to start chasing and to get a letter back to you by today.

So their issue is that they have sent the wrong letter to those who responded early.

Gives you little faith in any conclusions and forecasts they may make based on the census answers.

They shouldn't start chasing anybody until 6th April. And when it is all finished someone else will knock on your door- A survey about the census, apparently
