Bean Counter Of The Week
What do you do when your wife goes out and leaves you on your own for the afternoon?
Well, if you are John Stitch from Blackburn in Lancashire, obviously, you reach for a couple of cans of Heinz Five Beanz and count and classify their contents.
Reassuringly, Stitch found that there really were five types of bean in the can: haricot, kidney, pinto, cannellini and borlotti. Whilst in each of the cans, there were more haricot beans than any other, in the first can borlotti beans were the heaviest of the five, pinto beans in the second. The number of beans varied in each can, 163 in the first, 176 in the second.
John even had time to classify his results in a rather fetching pair of pie charts, perhaps they should have been bean charts, and, inevitably, posted the results on social media.
I haven’t been able to confirm that Stitch is an accountant by profession but his sense of curiosity and attention to detail is laudable. The world is a better place for knowing this, I feel. .
