Andrew, thanks for finding the explanation that was escaping me last night - and for the background. What I meant was that anyone at Dawlish next Saturday owning up to a list smaller then 20 would hardly be referring to birds (unless they are on their first birding outing, which isn't very likely). I could pretty safely assume they are referring to the number of BF members they've seen. So QED, that's that, now I have what I want, or Bob's your uncle.

Thank you, Andrew and Jason, for your explanations. I am learning all kinds of things here on BirdForum.
Additionally:
I found this while "googling" to research the "Bob's your uncle" phrase used by Jason.

"Bob's your uncle"
This British phrase means "all will be well" or "simple as that": "You go and ask for the job -- and he remembers your name -- and Bob's your uncle." It dates from circa 1890.

Yer can't count me 'cos you failed to re-identify me second time around! - I had 'scope and nobbly-knees, so I was fairly easy to ID, short of having a name-tag!
