mcgillianaireI couldn't be bother paraphrasing it so here's the entire article from the UK Census 2011 website:
Out of the millions of completed census questionnaires being sent back to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), some of the envelopes open up to reveal much more.
A whole range of personal items have turned up at the Manchester processing centre. People are being asked to be careful to make sure they send back their completed questionnaire, and nothing else.
“We’ve had personal letters, passports and a driving licence application included with questionnaires,” says ONS Census Director Glen Watson. “Where possible, items have been returned to the sender.” He suggests that anyone finishing their census off this week would do well to do it online (using the internet access code on the front of their questionnaire) and avoid accidentally scooping up something essential.
Here are just some of the items that have found their way into census envelopes:
Cash and cheques
A credit card
Passports
A set of Deeds
Certificates
A completed driving licence application form
Photographs of family
A drawing of the Queen
Letters
