    am I right in assuming they're floor tiles (going down on a floor) barney?, if so I'd go about 5mm joints, that way if they're a couple of millis out you can maybe get away with it

    Many thanks for the replies, I like the idea with the hammer, wont have to worry about straight lines! I have got 30 sq metres to lay on a screed floor, have not seen the full floor yet, i find that out tomorrow when i strip the lino out,i guess i will find a few horrors.I had in my own mind to go 4mm but i think these tile have butt edges to them, sharp corners? and goner use bal 3-20mm grout
