Tesco Fewer And M&S Sandwiches
As a final point, it seems that Tesco are striking a blow for the fewer/less debate.
For years stores have been saying less when they mean fewer, which is kind of like saying much when you mean many. One is to do with a quantity and the other is to do with a definitive amount. It’s really not that hard, and finally trying to get it right.
I read in the paper yesterday morning that Marks & Spencer is selling fewer sandwiches these days so the company who prepares them is making forty-three of its employees redundant. Now, you can do what you want, but next time you buy a M&S sandwich, bear in mind hthat the person who made it could be one of the ones losing their job in six weeks.
Picture the pride they might have in their job, preparing your lunch as they prepare to face the dole queue with the qualifications of a sandwich packer in a failing economy.
I think I’ll have the pasta salad.
