I think we should be told the order in which the cities/counties will be released, along with an approximate timescale, without further delay. 

If they are not prepared to do this, then they should not sell time-limited units.

It has been a long time since business (or govt organisations) showed any concern in assisting or advising their customers. Treating we common folks as mushrooms seems to be the order of the day & will probably continue. If you don't say anything - you can't be wrong - seems to be a common theme.

I agree Trish and I'm getting heartely fed up of having to fight with them all the time just to get a service.  Didn't get any sort of apology last month for the debacle from Origins.   >:(  But I digress.

I am a cynical digressor or a serial digressor, or both, but I find digression can add to the interest of a thread & to digress again, I see no reason for digression to be frowned upon.

Thus said, to be sure to be sure we are told no lies - we will no doubt hear about access to the census, the day after the data is released on the net.  :-X  :-X

Why should their units have expiry dates anyway?  What is the justification for this?

To make us pay twice,when we don't use them up within the time frame and have to fork out all over again. ::)

Ah yes, I'm all too aware why they do it.  I was just wondering how they could explain it, since they would never admit to that.

I foresee a lot of very angry people who will have bought or been given units, only to find that the info they seek from the 1911 census is still not online when their units expire.  Bad PR.
