Cornish Ethnicity on 2011 census! Petition!

[Sarch]

I think that the "powers that be" have forgotten the 2001 CENSUS "Jedi Knight" phenomonon whereby people filled in their religion as Jedi Knight.

in 2001 Census in England & Wales 390,127 people claimed to be Jedi Knights making it the 4th largest reported religion in the country
2.6 percent of the people in Brighton claimed to be Jedi.

Unfortunately I don't live in the UK or I would support the petition.

Just completed the census 2011 forms, and I've quoted my nationality as Cornish, my ethnicity as Cornish and anywhere else that was relevant, I'm also down as Cornish.
That should let tham know.
To the Barricades, One and All !!!

I have done the same as you, Ted and given my ethnicity as Cornish. Here in Wales we appear to have had different census forms to England. What I found absolutely stupid was that only one's first name was required. So, if future generations ever want to trace people through this 2011 census, they will have a very hard job if only the person's first name is registered. I wrote in my first and second names joined by a hyphen and my husband did the same. Let's hope that I will actually get registered as Mary-Elizabeth Chown!

All the best,

Mary
