Quick-Step are running a training centre in manchester soon. I thought this might be interesting for those who already do most types of flooring or for those who are considering branching out a bit.

In a what can only be described as a spectacular feat of stupidness, I crashed down a staircase on Friday morning only to knock myself out and leave the lads thinking it was time to start looking for work elsewhere upon my expected demise. My life did not flash in front of me in a flurry of...
