Just been out to CTD Bristol. They often bombard us with emails on latest offers, but earlier this week they advertised a "Trade Evening" in Bristol - to be held between 4pm and 8pm tonight.
Now I am cynical to marketing allures, but a free bag of adhesive, free BBQ food, prize draw raffles, plus support from a range of manufacturers (Hardibacker, BAL, Mapei, Raychem etc) is enough to tempt even the hardest working tilers after a days toil. Yep. What a great idea - an evening trade event. I completed my days tiling, got home for a shower and bit of tea, then drove the 40 minutes to get to CTD.
And it was shut...........
And I was not the only tiler caught out - I met a tiler from Nailsea (also making free time after a full days work) - we examined the padlocks on the gate together.
So another hour and a half lost in my life. No free addy. No free burnt hot dog. No pens, mugs, T-shirts. No demonstrations.
Thank you CTD Bristol.
Anyone else caught out? :mad2:
