Voted for marbles because I absolutely adore travertine, think it is a beautiful stone, just don't get many jobs with it

I voted all.Have done the lot and enjoyed every last one.Tilers who say..don't do mosaics..hate epoxy grouting...geometrics ohh too fiddly..steps..mitering...porcelain too hard to cut ....terracotta fcuk sealing tiles.....try a job with less to think about ...maybe petrol pump attendant or something....the industry will be well rid of you...Gaz

I'm not a tiler yet so cannot really vote, however i do like them bluish papers with the thin silver strips running through them, it feels lovely when you have a couple of them in your pocket
