    The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it!!

    If you find it hard to score the face and get them to snap.. then try scoring the back and then snap them.

    I wouldnt bother with a cheapy manual cutter, either a good quality rail cutter (rubi, monti, sigma...) or any wet wheel cuuter will do the job nicely

    Oh, what a bonehead, sorry all. Firstly I didn't realise I couldn't post, then I posted the same images twice, which really doesn't explain as much as the first. The front image is here, the tile is already scored into 15mm squares.

    Or here is a link:

    Thanks in advance.
