The school concert went magnificently, and the day out at rehearsals gave Adam the opportunity to try some Christmas sandwiches. The seasonal Brie & Cranberry is always a lovely mix, but each year the supermarkets try to outdo themselves with new inventions.

They all got reviewed by the Daily Telegraph in the article "The 24 best festive sandwiches". I'm sure people wrote in to complain that the word Christmas had been cancelled, and how in the 1970s all Christmas sandwiches explicitly celebrated the birth of Jesus.

Here are the ones we think are best:

And a great example of an M&S sandwich we saw that we think is the worst:

Advent Calendar 2025

1st December 2025

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!
