Asda Rhubarb in light syrup, 540g - RESULT NOW IN

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Apparently, and I speak as a non-gardener or chef, in 1947 a New York court declared rhubarb a fruit because it's most often cooked as one in the United States.

I guarantee that was something to do with taxes

[claretblue]

30 chunks
74ml of light syrup

thanks for doing the count RCC!

[Redbeard]

Well, having caught up on all the overnight posts, it's good to see Ralphie learning what happens when you choose an unusual Commodity.

Sticks or chunks? Fruit or veg? 83, 34, 35 or 9ml?

No wonder Spot's having to help him!

But we'll get there in the end, I'm sure. UTC!!

[Steve1956]

Steve1956 - I'm not one to wave an invisible card at the officials so I emplore you to revise your frivolous double estimate. Besides anything else you'll feel terrible if we get tonked as deep down you'll know it's all your bloody fault.

133 discoloured rhubarb pieces
161ml juice

...and a Clarets victory (subject to Steve doing the right thing).

Bollocked again...bullying really is a horrible trait...
Edited just for you pies.

[tarkys_ears]

I meant the same loose as I said before - 83

So to confirm its 9 pieces and 83ml!

[Dawlishclaret]

Good morning all from cloudy Devon. My estimate is 45 pieces and 169ml of juice. UTC

[RalphCoatesComb]

Morning fellow counters.

Spot is out in the garden chasing his tail, the sun is shining and someone has cleared up all the snow. In fact, all is right with the World.

The Rhubarb Triangle? 'Appen just as well I didn't go for the huge tin of avocados, we'd have all been embroiled in the "Avocado Pentacle" and other Wiccan artefacts

Cloudy in Devon? Not wishing to make you jealous but it's cracking the flags here

Thank you Admiral for checking on the progress of today's Count. Appreciated.

9 hours to go... Come On Down !

[Redbeard]

Ralphie - Should I post the present leaderboard so that you can copy it and make tonight's amendments yourself, or would you like me to take care of that once you've posted the Count Result?

[RalphCoatesComb]

Ralphie - Should I post the present leaderboard so that you can copy it and make tonight's amendments yourself, or would you like me to take care of that once you've posted the Count Result?

Yes, and Yes. I believe it would be more far more accurate if you took control of the leaderboard and points allocation. Thank you.

[Redbeard]

OK, then. Thank you, Ralph.

Here for all of us anyway is the present situation, with Ralphie himself at the top. Meanwhile we should remember that those seemingly at the bottom with 1.5 points each are in joint sixteenth place, whilst it is the remainder of us, without so much as a half-point between us, who share last position.

But let's see what happens later on!

[Redbeard]

Bump.
Just five hours left for Estimates.

And, 30 minutes before the start of drainage. This light syrup may take some time to leave its host vegetables

[ayrshireclaret83]

14 sticks
183ml

[RalphCoatesComb]

Drainage HAS commenced.

Results will be posted here at 19.15. Gives you plenty of time to get to t'Turf

Plenty of time to get your entries in.

[tarkys_ears]

What about the can?

I'm very interested in the vegetable count.

[tarkys_ears]

I'm very interested in the vegetable count.

OOOOO HE'S ASKING FOR TROUBLE!

[RalphCoatesComb]

What about the can?

Could have been a lot worse. Could have been mushy peas in gravy

[RalphCoatesComb]

Less than an hour to go but still time to get your estimates in.

[RalphCoatesComb]

Result now in

There were 34 pieces of Rhubarb in 333 mls Jus

Eloise Laws was bang on with an estimate of 34 pieces of Rhubarb

Claretdavid estimated 296mls jus and is the nearest to the whopping amount of light syrup.

Photographic evidence





Well done to all our counters. Here's to another memorable night at t'Turf versus the mighty Reds of Manchester

[Zlatan]

Fantastic effort RCC

I’m not at all miffed that there was no clarification as to whether they were sticks or pieces. Although had I known my estimate would have roughly tripled from 12 to about 34ish

[Aclaret]

Ralph.....enjoy your Rhubarb Crumble

There was no clarification available, other than opening the tin. Couldn't do that now, could I ?!

[RalphCoatesComb]

Ralph.....enjoy your Rhubarb Crumble

How did you guess??

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

Excellent count, RCC. Congrats to winners.

[tarkys_ears]

Billhooks!

I demand some points for this!

[Zlatan]

[Eloise Laws]

Am rubbish at estimate and guess work, so chuffed to bits to get points on the board.

Thank you for the count!

[RalphCoatesComb]

Billhooks!

I demand some points for this!

The Admiral is on VAR. I know the answer

[Redbeard]

Well, what a tremendous effort by Ralph and his doggie.

And well done besides to both of our winners, who with their precious points now feature on the leaderboard: Eloise with her bonus straight into fourth place!

COYC !!

Harrumph Harrumph ... 2 away on chunks of Rhubarb

[what_no_pies]

Steve did the right thing. Where did it all go wrong?

[HunterST_BFC]

Rhubarb, Frubarb...

I blame Ralph and Spot

[RalphCoatesComb]

Rhubarb, Frubarb...

Not Harry Maguire?!
