Time to count the UK

Here in the UK, we conduct a census every 10 years and today is census day.

I don’t know why some people make a fuss about the census – it’s not intrusive and it is important for the planning of public services.

Also it will give us accurate information on the population of the UK as a whole and each city, town and village. Most countries have only a rough idea of the size of their population.
