not sure if its a new thing but its the first time ive noticed it anyway, b&q have a tiling dvd for the grand total of £1.98 :yes:
perfect for me as ive never laid a tile in my life and was very informative, very good explanations as to what your supposed to do and why and what not to do etc, unlike a different one i got from ebay which just said do this, do that, with little explanations atall really
total running time for the wall tiling part is 1 hour 16 min, which takes you step by step with thorough detail from start to finish, topic titles from this section are...

...edging tiles
...around a feature
...edging trim
...to a window recess
