I too had a role in the 2001 census...I’d just moved to the area and it seemed a good idea both to earn some beer tokens and discover the area.
I was forewarned at a meeting about a couple of obnoxious people. Their reputations preceded them.
One truly was obnoxious. An awful piece of work, self important, councillor, born and bred local, treated everyone like dirt. Twice I got a mouthful of the most awful abuse for knocking on the door and disturbing TV viewing. I held my breath.
After the census I returned and gave the person both barrels, full blast foghorn nose to nose. And did so once afterwards in the street so we were even.
My friend is being paid in full to not do her census work next Saturday.
