Unless you live under a rock or have a mammy/flatmate that dealt with it for you, last night was the reason that strangers had been banging down your door and leaving you messages while you pretended not to be home for fear that it was something far less pleasant.
Yes, the census for 2016 took place last night and every household in the country was asked to let the government know just who was under their roof. And of course, everyone took the piss.
In the end, chickened out and dropped down to Ordinary Level Census. Piece of piss. #Census2016
