And mine. Neither Paracetamol nor Ibuprofen were to be had.

I wouldn't recommend putting the rolls in the oven from frozen. You could end up with a frozen inside and a hot outside roll. I'd be interested to know if it works though ��

Not sure that would work. I'd be interested to know if it does.

Eh ? Did you put this in the right place ?

Yes, the thread's now returning to the topic of freezing rolls (posts #404 and #405) that was going before having got waylayed by comments on paracetemol/ibuprofen

Blimey, how many do you get through?

Not that many Stompa , don’t worry ! I always like to keep a few packs of both in the house just in case . We’ve had bouts of cold / virus that have gone through the four of us occasionally and I like to be sure I had enough in to cope with something like that happening again .

I have at least a pack of painkillers in my handbag, locker at work, in the car etc.

A few days ago, I bought something from Lidl which tasted off. Lost the receipt. Filled in the online contact us form. Got a reference and still no response. Has anyone had any joy with this way of contacting Lidl?

I have, I complained twice about being charged incorrectly and was sent 2 £5 vouchers, one for each complaint and a letter to give to the manager instructing that a refund for the overcharge be repaid to me. The supervisor who was called to the till to sort this out was grumpy because he said it would have been easier if I'd  complained to the store and not customer services!  If you don't  hear anything, email them again, it's  annoying there's  no phone numbers to contact them but they did deal with my complaints very fairly.

Yes, but they're extremely slow and may need chasing. Lidl really do not do customer service at all well because of their low-cost model, but if they don't improve it might well come back and bite them.  We already avoid Lidl wherever we can and use Aldi.

On the last occasion it took a formal complaint to the local authority about unsafe food before Lidl finally responded.
