and now is the perfect time to upgrade with a 7,500 pound government grunt.

0:13.0

And if you get yours from British gas, we guarantee you will heat your home to your perfect temperature,

or your money back. And what's more, we won't be beating on price.

Congratulations to the pumpkin named Michael Jordan, grown by Travis Ginger, Ganger,

G-I-E-N-G-E-R of Anoka, Minnesota. He has now become the grower of the biggest pumpkin ever in the world.
