I take four scoops of coffee beans out of the jar in our fridge to put into the grinder for my own caffeine hit each morning - and I have so far resisted the impulse to count the number of beans in that sample.  Wink Cheesy Grin

Two points from me: firstly, I'm excluded as an admin from entering the competition; and secondly, that's because I know the answer (it's actually quite a large number!).  Lips sealed

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
