This week we shall go with a tin of Tesco's finest of whole green beans in water!

Counting shall commence at 18:00 on Tuesday evening, 5 points for the correct amount of beans and 5 for the correct amount of beany water.

Trying to add images of the tin but files invalid

Working it out now.

My wife says 63 whole long legumes
145mls bean wee

Heres to our 1st win .........

Images finally ready.

A tough but healthy choice

I'll go with

Beans: 42
Juice: 177

I would just like to state that no beans will be lost in vain due to this count, they shall accompany my mashed potato and toad in the hole on Tuesday evening.

31 beans 159ml of fluid.
UTC.

45 beans
180 ml juice

Traditional count of tinned goods. Not been a fan of the other items this season. Back to basics is a good thing

I'm pleased to see we're bqck to counting contents of a tin. Counting bagged/boxed stuff is asking for trouble.

67 beans

Round my way "tea/dinner" is usually 19:30 and onwards.

Heathens

Personally, I time it so that tea is ready when I finish work at 16:00

30 minutes left for the count before the drainage starts.

In answer to Croydon, tea for me is normally around 19:00/19:30 but an early one tonight so I can watch the game at 19:30.

Counting has begun, no more entries.

Looking at the picture is it to late to change my guess ?

Counting completed.

We have 122 wholesome healthy beans and between 185ml and 195ml of juice! (Blame my poor jug buying skills for not being exact)

Confirmation of points to come.

Final points:

Closest to bean count is Cubanforever with a guess of 82 beans = 3 points
Scorers in the correct juice range are Cabbage (185ml), claretblue (187ml) and green_parrot (189ml) = 5 points each

In the interests of accuracy, may I suggest that the committee consider the weighing of juices (using digital scales)?

BigF is still in the lead with 18 points. Cabbage scores 5 points to move into second place on 14 points. 3 points for Cubanforever and 5 points for claretblue put them in joint 5th with BossCat on 11 points. green_parrot moves up to joint 8th with 5 points and last, but not least, claretburns enters the fray in joint 10th with 3 points for performing the count.

Thanks for an excellent first count claretburns. The high number of beans certainly caught many counters out, myself included.

Here’s hoping the clarets are full of beans in this evenings football game and knock the hatters for 6. Up the Mighty Clarets, get stuck in lads.

Top count. Good value for money those beans

Easier and more accurate, but only if you have the right equipment. Optional, I guess. I have very, very accurate scales that will do a gram to 2-3 decimal places. For bakers yeast, I should add. But in cooking (and esp baking) it's advisable to weigh water/liquids rather than measure volume by eye. (The meniscus is a pain.)

Hi what_no_pies good to see that you are up for a count. We currently have the following counting volunteers pencilled in for upcoming games.

28/10 Bournemouth (a) - claretmisterg
01/11 Everton (a) FLC - BigF
04/11 Palace (h) - Eloise Laws
11/11 Arsenal (a) - BossCat

If you feel your counting mojo is good right now you could do the Bournemouth count and I’ll take a later one. Or you could do a later one. What would you prefer ?
