Hello! We've sort of lost count, but think the first Advent Calendar was back in 2003, the Internet Archive Wayback Machine says it looked like this: Of course all the links are dead, but the thing it has in common with this year's is that it is still coded in HTML, probably the last thing I will ever rely on coding for. Now it looks like this: Happy Advent! We have gone for the Bonne Maman JAM Calendar again this year, after leaving it too late last year and it selling out at both Fenwick and Selfridges! We get a fresh pot of jam every day to enjoy with our tartines and Ovomaltines. We also have the Domino's "Merry Crustmas" leaflet, and a MUJI calendar we'll show you later in the month. Do let us know what you are opening every day! You can leave a message below, or email us your ideas and suggestions for future days at robotmaths@outlook.com Have a great day!

Then there's Coe and Ovett, Usain Bolt, Lord Coe again (nice early photo of him selling off one of his Olympic tickets to the highest bidder - £500 sir? deal.) You've then got Mark Spitz and Dick Fosbury (author of 'the flop').
Keep up the great calendar work!

P.S. I think I may be getting closer to solving the second infant in the BandAid quiz from last year
