Food count - Brentford 16/03

If we're all nuts for doing this then you might as well count a few
This week's food count is a 200g bag of Sainsbury's mixed nuts and raisins.
Lots of points on offer this time, with the usual 10/5 scoring ratio applying.
Please post your answers in this order;
- Peanuts
- Raisins
- Almonds
- Walnuts
- Hazelnuts
- Total Nuts
For clarity - each pair of half peanuts will count as 1 peanut

An excellnut choice, Croydon. Thank you for doing a count in these dark days. Hopefully we can inspire the football team to deliver a performance worthy of the shirts they wear. I will proffer guesstimates as factors of seven to draw upon the mystical power of that lucky number.
I sez
- Peanuts - 42
- Raisins - 35
- Almonds - 21
- Paulie Walnuts - 7
- Hazelnuts - 14
- Total Nuts - 84
Let’s batter Brentford. Up the Mighty Clarets, come what may.

Some spreadsheet lines are including raisins where others do not. Need to avoid a stewards inquiry in our current fragile state.

I don't see any missing entries for raisins. Can you be more specific?
Please only respond in the form of a raisin based Haiku

I'll presume you want me to take 248 as your total score as that's the sum of the individual components

Hi Croydon
I believe the question being asked by matucana is whether you will include the number of raisins in your totals count. As you said total nuts a number of counters, including myself, have omitted raisins from the total. Whereas other counters have included raisins. Thanks again for doing the count.

Ah. It all becomes clear.
I did mean "Total items". I can see that I have caused as much confusion as a Burnley FC defensive training session.
I will update everyone's score to include their raisin count also

Thanks for updating Croydon. Apologies for the extra work. Thanks also to matucana for picking up the discrepancy. I don’t understand Muric Leggings reference to third world. I assume he was attempting humour but I don’t get it.

The "total" count was intended to include everything, despite the initial post saying "Total Nuts"
I'll take your total as 139 unless you object

It always alarms me when a count has been cocked up before a game.
It usually means Trafford or someone will cock up during the game.

Great count Croydon and well done to all the point scorers. Hopefully this will inspire the mighty clarets in the sporting contest to follow. I’ll update the points table later.
