Census day

After 100 years you would think they would have got the questions right.  I can remember being a census "person" in 1971, and it had its problems then.  However there was no slot to fit into for being a local government coucnillor.  We are "office holders" not employees.  As are clergy in the Church of England and numerous other people.  If Councillors were  "employed" we would have rights, hourly pay, holiday leave and even sick leave.  We are answerable to our consituents not Stockton Council, too.
I turned to the website for guidance on how to fill in the form but there was little extra information and all I could do on not finding it was to tick a box saying "not helpful".  no e-mail address.  So the form remains not fully filled in.
