Do you know what mate, I didn't take any like I normally do, maybe the trauma or haste at which my tool were slung in the van to get away from the job made me forget.
The builder who is a very good friend asked me to do another job around the corner similar size 40-50m2, I love the guy he has been a close friend for 40 odd years now..........but!!!!!!!! And it's a big but...... He's the roughest builder I know and the only thing that is making me think about doing it is ££££££££££

I know a couple builders like that , really really nice blokes but as you say ruff as hell quality wise..lol lol...

Don't get me wrong I won't cut corners. It is supposed to be a rough floor but according to my friend the builder there is a sum in for sorting it out before tiling commences. If there isn't I'll probably give it a wide birth and do something else

I've been a member for a while but don't get around to posting much.
The job I am doing at the moment is for a very good friend of mine that has his own building company, now I normally say I am to busy when he rings me to offer me work because he can be a bit slap dash crash bang wallop, but for some reason on this occasion I offered to help even before knowing what the job was.... Because I had a few days spare in between jobs.
50m2 floor. Kitchen the rooms empty he told me..... Lying pig he is.
So I turn up to start the other day. OMG!!!!!! The kitchen has been fitted, granted they left the plinths off 3m X 1.2m Island unit etc.
Where and what are the tiles.....just there them 300x300 slate from Topps Tiles
I have never worked with such utter rubbish in all my life, they range from 297x297 all the way up to 306x306....that's 9mm's (ffs) and out of square. thicknesses rang from 4mm up to 12mm and the twist and the riven nature I wouldn't call them tiles I would describe them as off cuts.
I remember working at Euston station in the 80's using (if my memory serves me right) shaws twin tiles and they was bad....I mean really bad but they haven't a patch on these.
So I was wondering.......what's the worst tiles you fellas have used?

Were they from the same batch at all?
