Had a 40m floor cancelled on me in January a week before it was to start so had a few days freed up and nothing to fill them. Same day I got a call from a girl needing a bathroom tiled in the next week. It sorted me out and it sorted her out, everyone was a winner. In another current situation I've had a small bathroom floor to do for a lady asap and have had to postpone her 3 times in two weeks from being too busy. This does my reputation more harm than squeezing in a job at short notice.

Charlie .youll love this .i once saw a tiler turn up outside Paris ceramics in kings road in the latest Ferrari of the time probably,to pick up a sample.i was doing the showroom fit and was gob smacked.he was a brummie and I think it really was his car.crazy days !maybe deano can enlighten us who this tiler extraordinaire was.i personally think it could have been Ozzie who let his his car be used as a pick up truck.think this was about 1990.

making a fortune from tiling!! I cannot personally see how this could happen but that's an encouraging story Johnny!
