Facebook Like button not working for all URLs

I'm trying to fix a problem with the Facebook like button not showing on some urls on our site. It was working fine on all URLs until about a week ago.

It seems to be pretty inconsistent.

Currently i can see the like button on this URL

http://www.chargrilled.co.uk/t-shirts/I-See-Dumb-People-t-shirt.m

But not this URL

http://www.chargrilled.co.uk/t-shirts/Tea-Is-For-Mugs-t-shirt.m

From testing I have found that removing the www from the URL tends to fix the issue but obviously the like counts are different (usually 0).

Strangely when you go to the facebook like button page (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/) and enter the second URL (above) the like button disappears even there.

Have tried so many different things, including stripping all other HTML, CSS and JS off of the page apart from the FB code and still no joy!

Your url is showing up in the debugger with no errors.

http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chargrilled.co.uk%2Ft-shirts%2FTea-Is-For-Mugs-t-shirt.m

suggestion: urls which appear not to be upto date, run them in the url debugger logged in as the admin account and Facebook will scrape the page for metatags.

http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

NOTE: If a user adds first like to a button, Facebook could take upto 24 hours to scrape the page or og tags, if an admin creates first like, it is done instantly. After first like either way, Facebook re-scrapes the page about every 24-72 hours.
