For this next count we are continuing with the pickled theme which almost saw success last time.

I present for your scrutiny one jar of Parsons pickled cockles.

Simple one this time:
Number of cockles
Amount of juice

The usual 10/5 scoring system will apply


High tide will be at 18:00 on 05/01 so nobody is allowed to be foraging on Morecambe Bay after that point

98 mls/gms of Cockle wee

One hour to go, still time for ant last minute entries.

In the meantime please remember the 23 cockle pickers who didn't return safely

Silence whilst the canoes are on their way.

That means no more entries

And the results are:

Cockles - 75
Vinegar - 85

Canalsideclaret gets 5 points with the nearest guess of 70 cockles.

tally gets the full 10 points for guessing the exact amount of 85mls of vinegar

And if course I get 3 for doing the count.

Well done both and good luck to tonight's Cockleshell Heroes

Good one Croydon ...

They look like snot sliders. No wonder I’ve never had one.

Another good count….might open a jar myself tonight whilst I watch the game.

If you just think of it as lumpy vinegar then it's more palatable

canalsideClaret scores 5 points to jump from 9th to joint 7th now on a total of 32 points. A big 10 points sees tally debut on the leader board in joint 19th position. 3 points for counting puts Croydon Claret on 51 points still in 4th position.

We played reasonably well against Spurs but we didn’t take our chances and were punished for an error when attempting to play out quickly (familiar story). Still, I hope Muric is in the nets against Luton (he won’t be). I also hope Lyle and CT are ok. Up the Mighty Clarets come what may.
