Page 1 of MICO Clasica 20 supply update ? as at 8/4/02

In my search for a Sainsbury store that sell the elusive MICO, today I received the following two replies by email.

The first is from Sainsburys

Dear

Thank you for your e-mail. There has been a tremendous demand for
this product (product code 585.700) and we have completely sold
out. We are expecting more in store from early April; please call
our Customer Careline then on 0800 636262; they will be able to
give you more information.

I think one of the problems is that we had no prior warning of the
recommendation in the magazine, and as our supplies were not
limitless we ran out - hardly surprising really!

Kind regards

Rob Marshall
Customer Manager
Sainsbury`s Holborn business centre
