      haha! That is brilliant. Hmmmmm, well!
      I know the bread and butter would be the foundation – so I think that when I was filling in the whole questionnaire and uploading photos, perhaps that would be the bread and butter (but can I have a baguette rather than a sandwich? please?). Then I suppose my bread and butter was toasted, because I had to wait a little while before the competition started.

      When the questions started coming in, I guess that was when the sandwich filling comes in – but some were very random and some were huge, so I reckon it was a bit like opening the fridge and seeing what was in there and chucking it all on! A bit of ham, a bit of jam a bit of lettuce … a bit of everything! I think the live chats have been a bit like adding some mayo – a nice extra touch to a massive sandwich!

      Does this even make any sense? or am I going crazy? :S

      erm well, i suppose the registration process and early slection was the brea, because it was neccesary but pretty boring. The questions would be the salad filling, lots of it but plenty of time to get through. and the chat seassions would be a biig chunk of meat, intense, lots of flavour and the most satisfying bit.

      Hello!

      Wow thats a metaphor and a half! I like sandwiches so that is a good start I guess! I would agree with Joanna in that we (the scientists) are the bread or baguette whichever is your preference the basis of a sandwich. And then you guys are the fillings – what make it interesting and exciting – without you there wouldn’t be a competition and would be a bit boring (like bread on its own!). With so many questions being asked the sandwich is very full now so will be difficult to get my mouth round 🙂

      I guess for me it has been a lot like preparing my daughter’s school lunch each morning. Done rapidly and rushed in between a dozen other things needing to be done in a short space of time. But hoping that I am managing to make a sandwich interesting and tasty enough for her to enjoy at lunchtime. And then waiting for the end of day result to see if she ate her lunch or is going to complain about what I gave her.

      But despite the metaphor – this experience is a lot more fun than sandwiches!
