Fireplace bargain at Homebase

Just been down to my local Homebase looking at fireplaces. They had the Rimini suite reduced from £399 to £369. Furthermore there was 15% off everything over £50 which should have brought the price down to £313.65. This seemed too good to miss so decided to buy.
At the checkout I was charged £222.50. I'd been in the queue for ages because the cashier was making everyone apply for "Spend and Save" cards and fill out the form there and then, so I didn't query the price.
There must be many similar deals going there.
Can I help?

    That's true - I've just been looking. I don't have a pic as it's still boxed up in my shed until I redo the wall it's going on. It's very similar to this one though.
    Can I help?

    Well it depends what it is? if it's electric that it's no problem, but if gas you'll need a Corgi plumber.

    It all depends where you live, do you know anyone? Ask around to see if anyone knows one could charge you something like £30. As you need to isolate the gas vaule as it'll be no longer required.
