Can nothing be done to stop supermarkets describing their sandwiches
(sandwiches!) as "special edition" or "limited edition"?

It was bad enough when Tesco described their notorious 'Lasagne
Sandwich' as "limited edition" (how can one have a limited edition
sandwich? But now I see that Waitrose (formerly Messrs Waite, Rose &
Taylor) have got in on the act and are describing their 'Steak and
Stilton' sandwich as "Special edition"!

Zum beispiel, how limited will Waitrose's 'Steak and Stilton' sandwiches be
as I don't often get the chance to go to a Waitrose and they sound
fantastic!
