I think you'd get a little more respect if you knew what you were talking about Brian. 40 years or 6 months in, if you are wrong then you're wrong and you are wrong

Did i mention clips in that post?

End of, you do your work your way and ill do my work my way

Did i mention clips in that post?

Then what was the relevance Brian!?
I remember a discussion similar to this with @Tom Astley a while back and he was of a similar mind. Tom now uses these clips Brian as most tilers on here do with planks and bowed stuff. Why not give them a try?

 

[Brian the Tile]

The relevance is no clips where mentioned in that post,but as i said over the years ive heard it all,instead of spending your time slating me why not try the tile companys who are making theese bowed tiles then you may not even need the clips and you would be able to make more money
