Go on Petersa, have a go, it is totally harmless fun and you might get the bug.

Once you start then a trip to the supermarket will never be the same again. You find yourself going down strange aisles you didn't know existed in a desperate quest for some strange food product that has never been counted before.

And your partner keeps telling you that randomly staring at tins of food again is becoming embarrassing

So yeah give it a go, it may change your life

Portsmouth might have an historic naval base with HMS Victory, the Mary Rose etc but we trump all that with Thompson Park's boating Lake and the food count.

Well that was an interesting count - the label said big and chunky, more like tiny and sludge.
Aided by my lovely wife Jan we mananaged to salvage enough bits to count. Many thanks to all who took part. And thanks to Claretmrg for keeping the points table up to date.
The results were:
Carrots 141 claretblue nearest with 51 (5 points)
Turnips 57 jrobbo nearest with 50 (5 points)
Peas 103 tarkys_ears nearest with 72 (5 points)
Beans 72 mdd2 nearest with27 (5 points)
Water 93 Eloise Laws(95), Claretmrg(91) and Jasper64(95) (5 points each)
Tin 41 Longsider nearest with 43 (5 points)

Woot.

A few points for me.

Good count but like you, baffled by the word "chunky"!

Good count and you actually got a half decent turn out!

Eloise Laws · Post by **Eloise Laws** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:39 pm

Happy with 5 points! Now need the other 3…….

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Sat Sep 21, 2024 6:29 pm

I’ll take the turnip points!

Thank you for the count…and what a count!!
