Disappointment? 1911 Census

Does anyone else feel misled about the access to the 1911 Census? The transcripts only format (with summary sheet) means that I we have to go elsewhere and pay again to see the original documents

1811? Do you mean the 1881 or 1911?

How many more times are threads/complaints such as this one are going to appear on these boards?

does NO-ONE read other threads?
does no-one think of searching for 1911 topics?
before parting with hard earned money? or are peeps lured by the blurb Re: the 1911
the mind boggles, at times....

Bob

Morning Bob, I don't know about the crusty old f... bit, but you are correct. Nobody reads threads, giving advice about anything, or so it would seem. There are several threads on the TTF board advising people, which I suspect are not read, because people just carry on as before.
I could carry on, but I had better not.
Enjoy your day

Apologies, a bit new to all this, and responded in a fit of pique to GenesR's misleading promotion of th 1911. . . I'm now playing the 1812. . . nothing like the sound of canons for catharsis.
Glad to know I'm not alone
Thanks for your replies

AH! Gary, Hope I didnt come over a bit strong in my comments.........but I see that you are of the same mind, in music..........1812!!

'Tis a shame that me,being a bit hard of hearing, to hear the 1812 at its best, my missis wont let me have it loud enough to enjoy fully........good hunting anyway...........
