Thanks for doing this Eloise.
My estimate is 112 ml of vinegar and 45 mussels.

PS As I am doing the count for the Preston Game, please would someone be kind enough to give me a fool proof description of how to add photos to a post - I have tried to do it before and failed miserably.. Many thanks in anticipation

Dawlish, I am using an iPad… when you start a new topic, underneath the box to post your musings is a little box that’s headed attachments, I click on that and am given option to upload the photo from my library, click that, chose photo, click add and it’s there…..hope that helps somewhat.

In Dublins fair city, where the girls are so pretty,
I once met a girl called sweet Molly Malone,
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow, through the streets broad and narrow,
Singing:
*clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap*
BURNLEY,
*clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap*
BURNLEY.

43 mussels
91ml of liquid

Dawlish if you are struggling with the size of the picture,take a picture of the tin/jar on your phone and download an app called image compress and this will get your picture to the required size

Africlaret & Bosscat you have both submitted the same mussel total of 39 - does either of you wish to resubmit ??

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Mon Sep 05, 2022 6:35 pm

We have just been awarding points to the nearest ... if 2 people have same number they both get the 5 points ... no sharing etc ... Thats worked so far

so I am happy to have the same number as Africlaret (I haven't scored any yet and africlaret has

so its a lucky omen for me maybe not so much for africlaret

)

On the S9 you go into Gallery
Click on the pencil icon

Then click on the 3dots top right and hey presto...

Might be different on the S21

I used to have to email myself the pics and use the PC to resize them, then post pics from my PC ... then I discovered the resize image facility

certainly makes things easier

Is this count being saved Eloise Laws

as the games now off

bfcjg · Post by **bfcjg** » Thu Sep 08, 2022 10:43 pm

Is there a use by date ? Can't have Eloise passing out with the smell if we wait for a few weeks.

Eloise Laws · Post by **Eloise Laws** » Thu Sep 08, 2022 11:36 pm

I have given this some thought, whether to postpone the count and I think our Queen who by all accounts, liked fun and frivolity, and proved to us, with her star parts at the London 2012 Games & the Jubilee Celebrations that she enjoyed a laugh and a joke would not be offended if we concluded the count as planned. If others are in agreement, drainage will commence at 5pm tomorrow with the winner announced at 6pm.
I will always remember this special edition of the Food Count
RIP Queen Elizabeth
