Fix them square and not brick bond and you won't have an issue with internal corners.

Talk your customers into bumpy whites and save you a headache and them a lot of cash.

Talking of metros who was it who did the job where the odd one was a comic book strip printed on the tile?

I'm about to do my kitchen in them. So I'll follow this thread lol
