Hi, when we get all 9 numbered pubs and/or cafes do we get a bonus 50 points?

I think 9 plus the bonus ball (highest number). That would complete the group.

 

That's how I've done it, anyway. Hope it's right.

Correct! The highest number is just the highest you wanna go for - if that's 10 or 10000!

Having declared a high number, can you change your mind if you find a higher number or is it a one shot deal?

You know me I'm very flexible! I'll allow high number upgrades but no additional points available (apart from the hoggs bonus at the end of the year for higher!!) 

 

If you are submitting a number "upgrade" please mention this when posting the picture

So I had a 35 and a 91. I used the 91 as my 9. So I'm guessing the 35 is my highest number. 

Didn't I see someone had a million? That's gonna be hard to beat.

This is correct. @Throttled gets Scottish leeway and I'll allow it for the end of round bonus but its not beating the current leader who I believe *checks horrifically out of date notes* is still @Mawsley

 

Maybe you should update the scores properly at some time instead of making the lovely participants do it

 

Maybe I will*

It is a numeric concept, where numbers get too large. I missed the earlier debate about its use, but happily accept the Hoggs ruling and I get to keep my 10 points, which is a number less than infinity.
