In response to Evelyn's comments on word use and mis-use in the

I remember, some years ago, seeing a description of a forthcoming
TV programme.  It was about someone setting up a company to
provide office lunches.  The person was described as an ancestor
of the Earl of Sandwich.  [-pd]

Incidentally, a follow-up is a letter in The Guardian a while back from
someone complaining that British Summer Time (daylight saving) starts end
of March, just after the solstice but it ends at the end of October, a
month after the solstice.  Of course, they meant equinox, not solstice.

I note, that while unlikely, it is possible for there to be a living
ancestor of the current Earl of Sandwich, if his mother or one or more
of her ancestors is living.
