    New Tile Giant store has got off to a bad start!

    I received a mailshot promoting a local TG recently. Shame that they underpayed the postage and it cost me £1.19 to receive it :mad2:. I'll be advising the local manager what a mistake he has made, if I ever bother to visit the store :thumbsdown:. In my opinion he has shown himself to be...

    45 degree trowels..Good or bad?

    Quite like the idea of these towels but have never used them or know anyone who has used them. Only worry I have is there square notches so can't be used in wet areas or on floors as they will not give 100% coverage. What's your thoughts are they any good or recommended?

Tiler used acid-based HG Cement Grout Film Remover to remove grout. I had asked for a colour-intensifying sealer to be used. Instead...

    £400 a week cap on benefits, good or bad?

    Is it a good thing ConDem's are capping this benefits thing to £400 per month? It'd stop those families that just keep reproducing useless contributions to society and just sap funds for their 6 bed half mil houses down south, but will it cap anybody who actually needs the funds? IMO - cap...
