    Your professional thoughts please.

    Depending on where you are on the country you should be paying anywhere between £30 to £50/ sq mtr. This in my honest opinion isn’t a very good job. Every single one of these tiles should of been put on and checked with a straight edge/spirit level... they obviously haven’t been, if I were a...

I've been wearing Snickers for the last 3 years and they've been fairly good although I haven't bought a pair for about a year. I've had several people...
