    Thank goodness not all customers are this stupid. Tiling a bathroom requires effort.

    Tiling a bathroom requires a bit of human effort. It needs for each of us to get up off the sofa. Get out of the house and pick things. To get supplies. To collect itmes. So Now have a look at this Paypal dispute over a set of tile drills..... ---------------------------- 21/07/2011 21:40...

    customers description of tiles

    One of the first questions you ask on a quote is, what tiles have you chosen/going to chose. Last nights answer was, 'the ones that have broken up????' had to phone supplier up to find out what she had been looking at, who guessed Opus trav, certainly not me
