Obviously the new toilet isn't going to use this so was just wondering how you normally remove them and what you use to fill the gap to make it look nice.

I was just wondering about guarantees.
On the European Continent manufacturers are made to give a 2 year guarantee. As most people know over here they tend to only give 12 months, which incidentally isn't true.
The Office of Fair Trading says depending on the product the guarantee is for a...
