Morning all
Bit of a different one today - it's gonna be a right bollock for the entrants and me but please enter.
Presenting a 200g tin of Morrisons Alphabet Spaghetti
No juice on this one just a point for each correct guess A-Z and 5 points for the total. I've no idea if they'll have every letter or not. You can guess 0 if you wish.
Countdown will commence at 2pm on Saturday. Good luck.

The count won't be too bad. Putting it all into the spreadsheet will be a nightmare though!

Hi Tarky. What about punctuation marks etc?? If bits of letters are present do they count as commas or full stops etc?? (Sorry but I panicked at seeing this count content. Very brave of you, clearly having a lot of time on your hands to actually count).

Heh. Yeah I can't really do anything about broken bits. They'll have to be discarded. I was going to count them in the total but not as a letter -- but in order to do that I'd have to make a full letter which if it were possible then they'd be counted as a letter...
If you get me?
Also bigf, add a total to the end

Tarky...that's a really crafty shot of the tin,the angle you have took the picture at gauging the size of the tin is difficult.....
I'll go A to F 7 of each = 42
G to I 4 of each = 12
J & K none = 0
L to P 10 of each = 50
No Q = 0
R to V 7 of each = 35
W ...2 = 2
XYZ 4 each = 12
Total 143
I'm thinking it's one of those little tins .please tell me you photographed at that angle to confuse if not the others...but definitely me

It's a half sized tin.
No chance I was doing a full one, I ain't daft!
And I photographed it at that angle so you couldn't see what was on my monitor at the time

Thanks for counting, not being familiar with the product, are they in capitals or lower case? If the former how do you tell the difference between “M” and “W”, if the latter, how do you tell the difference between a “d” and a “p”? Let’s hope this spells out a world of pain for the Londoners:
