I can't wait to see all the questions on dialect in ours. Not only do you speak Gaelic. other languages include scots' dialect ( which covers loads)

so

IBM have been putting pages labelled "This Page Left Intentionally Blank" in their manuals for ages.

It shows that it is a placeholder.

What it means is that, as we have discovered, there are some forms (non-English speaking it seems) that are not relevant in all areas.

It means that when they put the forms through the scanner when they get them back, they can use one scanner layout for ALL forms.

Sensible really.

Actually, I don't care! Seriously, someone explain what the reasoning behind this question would be!
Well, last night i got home to find my next doors census on the door mat along with their post. So no idea where ours is. I wouldn't mind, but its walk sorted so the postbod has to look at the numbers and match them up. I mean (In a Clarkson voice) How hard can it be?
