My two-penneth: Sometimes comments and observations are helpful, sometimes they aren't.
In this case, it would have been helpful had it been a novice job or you had full view of the entire area.
Andy is definitely not a novice, so we know without doubt that his set out is the best it could have been, and you simply weren't there to take in the whole picture.
For the above reasons, I would say the comment was unhelpful not very well thought-through, particularly as the customer is on this thread too!
All I'm saying is we (all) should think three times before we hit "post reply". 🙂

I don’t have a problem with people criticising work.
I thought it came across as condescending.
Customer was given the choice, customer made the choice, customer happy. End of.

Criticism is always welcome and valid - especially on forums, but sometimes it's just not needed or delivered in a helpful way.
Little bit condescending? Yes I'd agree.

Believe you me I have had to bite my tongue on this, or I may have been banned !!
I could go into great detail into the set out on this job to prove a point, but this is NOT what this thread is about...

Nice job Andy, in every way mate. 😉
Personally, I wouldn’t have been so civil, and no, you wouldn’t have been banned. 🙂

@Martyn Leeds - You still lurking?

Haha.... Ray "not just a tiler but a master in the art of feng shui for pots and kettles". Fair enough you say if it was your wall. But you try telling a customer "i'm gonna do a dodgy cut here if you don't mind sticking your cookie jar in front of it"
Sorry but you have come across as pretty arrogant.... And to top it all you think you can help an experienced tiler "improve his craft". Maybe you should start a tiling school for the over 40's.
@Andy Allen, good job. Metros not to everyones taste but i like them. Vast improvement.

...can't believe no bites!
Good job done in the end.
Shame how the simple jobs / splashbacks can go so wrong, and cause so much trouble.
& at the original price I could've driven down myself to do it and still made good money.

Ok, enough!
Firstly YOU know obscene language is not tolerated, don’t you Ray.
We’re all painfully aware of your opinion on this particular project, and to be honest Ray, I don’t think anyone, including me, gives a rats arse what you think.
It’s not your job, it’s not your client, and it’s certainly not your home.
Centring every surface regardless is so far out of date it’s just not funny, and I might add, neither are you.
So if you can’t keep a civil tongue and learn to accept that things are different nowadays, I’ll do it for you, make no mistake.
The days that you remember on the forum have gone, I made sure of that, times and attitudes have moved on.
That’s funny there seems to be a theme here, it’s called moving with the times.
If you don’t want to move on from soaking tiles and humping s/c, that’s fine, just do it in private.
Don’t bring it to the forum.
No one appears to be interested.
And this goes for anyone else that wants to join a thread and disrupt it.
There are plenty of other places to go for that.
This is not one of them.
