Thanks @Perthperth - good e-mail. I'm interested to see what they say (if they reply...). I am going to do the same - perhaps a full-on e-mail attack from all of us might get the message through!Sent email > Can you tell me if you have stopped supplying High Protein Rolls in your bakery departments please? Being a diabetic these were the only rolls I and most other diabetics are able to eat. If it’s a temporary supply problem we may be able wait, if not many diabetics will need to find another supplier and will have to contact other major supermarkets as to their ability to supply the demand for them.

I and some others got that same standard reply when we wrote to them some time ago now when we heard rumours that they were stopping the rolls but they never did stop them and they never got back in touchThanks @Perthperth - good e-mail.

Just sent an e-mail but I'm not holding my breath for a reply @Pinkorchid. Although, it might be that if they are suddenly bombarded with many e-mails they might take note. Perhaps. On the other hand, they have been resurrected before (in a slightly different form) so maybe this will happen again.I and some others got that same standard reply when we wrote to them some time ago now when we heard rumours that they were stopping the rolls but they never did stop them and they never got back in touch
Had a reply from CEO via Customer ServiceI sent my email yesterday but no reply as yet.
Their next reply was to suggest I ring or email customer services. I asked if there was any point, or would I just get the same stock reply? Grrrrrrr. It wouldn’t be so frustrating if they just said they weren’t doing them any more and that was that.

I don't care. I just want them back!
Sad reply. Now looking for recomendations for alternative.

That reply would have worked if you were asking about a hedge trimmer!My reply didn’t even answer the question:
“Thank you for contacting us.
In order to offer our customers high quality products at permanently low prices we only stock a limited range of products. Due to a fast turnover and potential delays involved in receiving enquiries I am unable to provide accurate stock information or reserve products via email.
I recommend that you visit your local store to purchase the item you want. Promotional products are sometimes only available for a limited time. Please ask staff in store for information on whether a product will be restocked.
I do hope that this information is of use to you and that you find the item you are looking for.”
They’re still on their website too. My local said they’ll be getting the new range of breads in tomorrow, so I shall go and ask to see the nutritional info.
