Another Jar but this time it’s 155g of Parsons Pickled Cockles
Count will close and draining will commence at 11.00am on Saturday as it’s a derby game and the pub will be calling early doors…
Guess away and good luck to all who enter

Bump bump.
I nearly missed this one (being a bit dim) cos it didn’t say food count. Now, I would personally agree that cockles are not a food stuff as I have a serious allergy to them - but is it worth amending the title, I wonder? Off to think about my guesstimate now!

Hmmm, one for the sorting hat this one.
So there are for sure
79 cockies
and
33 mls of Joooosay.
Please read with Leslie Phillips' voice in your head.
Three points to Gryffindor.

64 cockles

Do cockle/seafood sellers still go round the pubs in Burnley on Friday/Saturday evenings? I doubt it - but I used to love a little pack of cockles whilst having a few pints of bitter - seem to go well together for me.

I reckon ask for volunteers 1st m8 strongarming folks might be construed as bullying in this modern PC Woke world
Now Jane Austen and Thomas Hardy novels are having "Warnings of stuff contained" put out for our Student population
