Part-Time Tilers

[cjbombero]

Having just read a post from essexsi I was interested to see how many other workshy Fireman moonlight as tilers!?! But seriously, there seems to be a fair few people who tile part-time and may have useful knowledge from their main employment. Eg Gouters and his accountancy hotline.

I'll start the confessions...

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN cj,SOMETHING BWILL NEED TO STOP ....thats it the girlfriend is getting the big elbow...lol

i thought the fire brigade had stopped firemen having second jobs
i dont go around putting fires out in my spare time

[cjbombero]

No there's nothing to stop me from working on my days off, same way anyone else could work in their evenings and weekends. Just most choose not to. I supose it's easier for us Firemen to do a bit of work as we do a lot of weekends leaving us with spare time during the week when no one else is about.

Fair play CJ I imagine two days tiling is a lot easier than one day being a dad!

One of the biggest arguments we use to the big chains is that a lot of tilers do it as a second income.

We are trying to convince them there is room in the market for expensive equipment like Rubi, Armeg, Macrist. But also room for value for money tools too...

The responses you get back from them you would imagine they view every tiler as a full time, seven day a week career man doing hotel and airport jobs.

Still a lot of convincing to do... But I recon tiling as a second income is more common than they think.

Come on Travis-Perkins, Jewsons, PTS Plumbing, Woolsey Group, see the real info for yourselves....

A policeman freind used to come along on his days off to pass the time when not working.He used to call special constables for taking all his overtime while they did it for free.He retired at fifty and set up his own business tile fixing!!!
