    I used to have the contract for the Little chefs from the midlands down to south coast. Cream 150 x150 and cream with red squares on from Worlds End tiles.

    Didn't realise there were any Little Chefs left....... You don't want to forget the rubber gloves when it comes to the grouting, like I did with black last week.

    I once went into a little chef with my brother, we were on the bike on the way home from Donnington, waitress came across and asked what we wanted, I said two plates of chips and two mugs of tea, our order came and the plate had fish and chips on them, I called the girl back and said we didn't order fish.....she replied with "but you order 2 plaice and chips"

    started little chef 2 day , just on there to push job along, got there this morn expecting to meet other tilers , but they had walked of the evening before ,

    well a right mess they have made of the floor 150 m2 , has all got to be ripped up , it snakes all over the place, grout lines 7mm 5mm 3mm, will try and get some pics for you its all covered in corex at the mo ,we lifted a few sheets just to take a peek ,
    some of the wall tiling may have to come of as well , to be fair ive seen worst , but with red grout it will stand out , and poor setting out, , i asked why did you let them carry on with the floor, they were doing it on nights ,and it was covered up in the mornings, ha ha not surprised, any way they are well pleased with what we have done to day , thats all that matters to me.

    asked if im interested in sorting other out, aint really got time ,as ive got other commitments
    it opens on the 1st of april , fools have no chance

    No one is gonna notice the quality fo the tiling once a few olympic Brekkies end up on the floor.
