Have you seen any coconuts yet dave ? we used to get a lot of those at the feeder at the top of Blackburn locks along with copies of the Koran and syringes which was nice:eek:

Dont worry to much dave , the coconuts were usually whole so like i said i dont really know what the crack was.The copies of the Koran always made me wonder until i was told when you disposed of a copy it had to be in water? Dont know if thats true or not:confused:

The Korans a bit of a mystery, just did a quick Google and it does say a moving body of water, or burial, or burning. The exact method of disposal is a bit of a mystery as the Koran does not address the matter. So I suppose the canal could be permitted but its a bit of a stretch to say moving.

Not knowing the exact quantity of liquid contained in a coconut it makes that a hard question to answer, they did appear to contain some milk but whether it was a full quota i could not say for certain sorry, but they seemed fully buoyant i can say that.

Well got to say that answer is simply not good enough.. I would have thought a professional coconut retriever would have made it his business to know the exact amount of milk in the average coconut. :confused:

I think we should maintain the integrity of this very sensible thread , and to put the matter straight, the liquid inside the coconut is called "coconut liquid" the "coconut milk" actually comes from the flesh within the coconut.

I feel it is important to know what it is you are measuring, and not to get silly.
