I suppose I'll have to put 'Jedi' or 'Satanist' for the religion question, just to get some sense of 'sticking it to the man' out of the whole damn thing.

The best way to 'stick it to the man' is to tick No Religion if you're not religious

wait until question 19 to ask that. Shouldn't it be question 1? Might save some time.

OCR was quite good, but it could only recognise words it was expecting, so i spent three months typing in "jedi" because the systems wouldnt recognise the word.
First 4 weeks was great we just ignored it when it was flagged up, then some git decided to pay for the information on how many Jedi's there where, considering it was for gathering information it was very "relaxed" in it's data collection...
I had to sign the offical secrets act to work there, so i'm probably going to jail now for talking about it.... Was strange to see FORMS guarded by MI5 agents with machine guns though...
