...to mention last week, after a trip to Waitrose:

They have a section of one aisle designated (according to the plackard above) Table Stationery.

It's, like, napkins and disposable plates and such.

Table Stationery?

I ask you.

You've found a usage of words previously unrecorded in the notes of the OED.

We now invite you to have the horror recorded for posterity, using the OED submission form:

Is "a board in Waitrose" an acceptable written format, then ? I thought it had to published, or I'd have submitted it...

I dunno, to be honest. On the other hand, if you can get this page Googled, it's valid ;-)

I'd submit it anyway: the lexicographers can decide what to do with it, and at least we'll have a record of it being used, even it's not from a source we really want to reference.

A crap plan, if ever I heard one. I thought the OED had more sense :(
