The Blue Peter Advent Crown only had 4 candles (or was it 5)Too much intellectual firepower can damage your common sense.

Advent Crowns have five candles, four round the outside and one in the centre. The outer ones are lit on the four Sundays in Advent, one on the first, two on the second and so on. On Christams day all five are lit, first those round the outside, then the one in the middle.Rob Smith

Typical Scottish mother, bet that saved her a few bob over the years.
I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

....four wire coathangers, (fireproof) tinsel.....etc. Four candles lit on the four BP episodes preceding Christmas
When I were a lad there were 24 doors on the advent calendar (with double doors on the 24th) but no choccies
Have seen them on sale this year, packed with chocs ending on the 31st! What is that about? ALTERNATIVES...............No alternatives for off-road capability.
If you want Surrey plush, go for a Range Rover. If you want Manchester bling it's the Range Rover Sport. But if it's a seven-seat, go anywhere 4x4, it's time to Disco.
