OK time to fess up!

OK following Deano's posting....I am starting a confession post thread. You can can forgive or not as the case may be. No one is perfect and we all make mistakes from time to time. Its part of learning from your mistakes....and in my case some costly ones.

Firstly Deano I beg forgiveness because whilst you were all trashing the spot the mistake, I have to confess this.

I once to put a mosaic on back to front, and to make matters worse it was paper backed, so there was no excuse, except for me having a banging hangover. I spotted the mistake right at the end and said nothing. And in case anyone asks No it never came away, and to my knowledge it is still in place, and no I've never done it again.

Sorry, and sorry again, and there is nothing more I can add.

Great idea!
Over 20 years ago my mate burnt a big hole in an acrylic bath with a ***, when he helped Dad and I on a job.
We filled it with silicon.
The builder phoned Dad up 6 months later saying that someone has burnt a hole in the bath, but i know it's not you two as you don't smoke....
Sorry.

second tiling job me and a mate ever had was for the prime minister edward heath in his house in salisbury close by cathedral.
neither of us had tiled before but we convinced fired earth we knew what we were doing.
they were huge or so it seemed at that time . must have been about 750 x 750 mm sqaure and 30mm thick.
contrary to what every person said on laings site , we proceeded to lay the terracotta upside down.
to be fair i have never seen t/cotta like this before or since and how would anyone from laings know better but turns out they were upside down and this only dawns on us the evening before king ted was arriving on site which he did with his boyfriend no less !!!
spent the whole night lifting the tiles and pretended everything was in order when he did arrive in morning.
result was LAINGS refused to pay and my mate chained himself to the railings at front of property in the close as a protest, to little avail.
we learnt very quickly after that but to be fair fired earth nor anyone else knew about fixing their product properly in the early days of their company.
