Just A Little Intrusive!

Today I had to wait in for the guy to do the annual gas check, O.K. a bit inconvenient, I've had to take time off work.

The bloke himself pleasant enough and in a rather embarrassed manner handed me a survey form from my Landlord.

Now, I don't mind telling them my Nationality, (I'm proud to be British), but why should they need or even want, to know my religion or sexual orientation?

to me, answering that question in endless application forms is a form of racism isn't it? what does it matter if you're gay or straight or even a bit of both? it doesn't stop you doing the job you have applied for....a load of bollox if you ask me

Once again it appears to be that another nonentity (Hyndburn housing group) wants to hold files & information on the populace, ever more encroachment on the publics private sphere it seems.

Are they intending to send personnel to people who are like minded in outlook & ethnicity, sexual orientation & religion ? So if you put Chinese lesbian, Buddhist who dislikes cats, would someone with the same opinions & views turn to to read your meter ? (some interesting options here)

If not, I don't see any relevance to their enquiries, turn up read the meter/do what's required & on their way.

My mistake then thinking it was Hyndburn. Still I'd say that it adds more credence to my points then as it is "only a Company" they have even less reason for information gathering than a local Council.
