Topps price match promise - or any other shop!
How good is a price match promise? Is it not worth the bother? If it’s not in their interest, they simply refuse to match a price (even with printed out proof of a better price!).

Renewing gas burner 'thingies'.
I used an oven cleaner on my (presumably) stainless steel gas burners and now they have gone a dull grey and look even worse! I've tried all sorts including bicarb and vinegar/lemon. Is there any product which will restore the gleam? Or even something to re-coat them :confused:

British Gas - Powerflush ?
I have had a BG Homecare 200 agreement for 13 years - in that time they have replaced 3 radiators. The last radiator they replaced (earlier this year) the engineer advised it would be the last one they would replace as the system needs a powerflush. We were quoted £750 at the time. Needless to say we haven't got around to…
