Google... to sell you adverts. In all honesty, even on this principle I don't see the problem. I'd rather have adverts sent to me for stuff I might, just might, fancy buying. I'd rather be sent bits from the rimmerbros catalogue than random adverts for Mr Muscle, NEXT or Dior. Just need to train it to pick out random eBay junkers pre-92 and sub £4000 and we're onto something! But hey ho, not everyone is of that opinion and the other position on it is valid (it being the start of a slippery slope).

I definitely think it’s a generational divide in the most part. I’m nearer 60 than 50 & I’m of the opinion the less anyone knows about me the better. Younger people don’t seem to have an issue with it, telling all & sundry every scrap of their lives on fb. Then guess what, Cambridge Analytical (or whatever they were called) flog everyone’s info & they all kick off. What were you expecting 🙈

Sadly swmbo filled ours in, I'm firmly of the opinion they can shove the census where the sun doesn't shine. You don't have to fill it in truthfully of course.

Every now and then I'm reminded that there are adults out there - actual fully-grown adults! - who will quite possibly believe anything... I should have invested in tinfoil. Anyway, census talk bad, car talk good, census car.. Er... Hmmmmm...

Younger people don’t seem to have an issue with it, telling all & sundry every scrap of their lives on fb. I'm in my 40s and have exactly the same opinion New question for the 2021 census: Is the manufacturer your car identifies with the same as that which the manufacturer registered at first registration?

Its obvious they want to track the microchip in you from the Covid jab so they can road charge you. I'm wearing my tinfoil hat in the car to mask the signal the only issue is I have to glue it on with Gorilla glue in the Boxster when the roof comes down......

Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they are not out to get me...

I'm nearer 70 than 60 and have no objection to filling it in after all it's not new, it's been every 10 years since around 1800 apart from one around 1940. EDIT Just looked it up, 1801 and 1941

You know, the saddest thing about this thread is that some people think it's OK to take cheap jabs at those who don't want to tell the government every bit of information about themselves. It doesn't have to be paranoia, it doesn't make you a conspiracy theorist, and it doesn't necessarily mean you live in a house triangulated between electricity pylons to stop the radio-waves... it could simply mean that you don't like giving away every last scrap of personal information and would rather be left alone to carry on with what fleeting amount of life we have to spend. Please don't be that person that makes fun of someone else just because they hold a different view to you. If you don't think it's valid, that's OK. There isn't enough tinfoil left to share out anyway...

I don't give a fat rat's hole about a person's gender identity. Or their colour, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation. Gis more cool car stories please.
