    there is a greasy residue and the entire kitchen will need re decorated.

    That means the kitchen will look newer than the rest of the house, you should claim for a total demolition and rebuild of your house.

    Surely you all got Whiplash when the explosion occured, claim for that too.

    But then the new house will make all the others in the street look old and shabby and the will all need rebuilding as well.

    Good luck with chasing compensation, don't forget that ASDA are run by WALMART a nasty american multinational, go for as much compensation as you can get! Good on you for taking them on, stay focused and be sure to document every step of the way, every conversation, save copies of letters etc. Eventually hopefully you will get something.
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    It is of course entirely possible it is not Asdas fault and could have been caused by the changes in temperature or pressure etc.

    Although big comapnies like to get away with alot, it isnt always their fault.

    this happened to me before with asda thousand island sauce, turned out it was totally my own fault because it said on the bottle to comsume within x amount of days after opening and i hadn't so the stuff had fermented and the gas build up caused the bottle to explode.

    There's actually a prank you can do by putting a little baking soda in the bottle, shaking it and putting it back in the fridge once someone opens it.. Kabloooey! it's very funny :rotfl:
