incorrect! She said her mates x 'worked' in a tile shop. Also, how do you know the tiler was 'fitting her in'(implying a busy schedule) I believe her words where simply 'do it next week' also, I said I'd be concerned at hiring a tiler who was availible at a few days notice , not that he was neccisarily not good, I advised 'check him out' as I would any other tiler regardless of how busy they where!
post 223 big man correct!

i was invited to a do at ascot for the christmas races just gone for a developer i do a lot of work for. got talking to the boss of the plastering firm and he told me great stories of going out to east germany/ new west germany in the eighties.
he only went because he lost 40k at beggiining of first recession in our living times.
to pay his subbies back he went to east germany and single handedly paid the full amount back in three years!!
i do not disbelieve this.
but the stories he told of that time were as good as i have ever heard.
the real auf widersejhen pet stuff.
but the flip side as he tells me on the plastering front which i think should have transalated to tiling as well is that there were guys from up somewhere north of surrey that paid for houses outright in only a few years after thinking that they would lose everything.
we brits went there because were alowed to and i really get ****ed off when i hear our citizens bleating about foreign workers who are only here in this country because they are allowed to by law

post 223

im not talking about the walls I didn't get done, im talking about the new stud wall that has been tiled and my new floor mainly , that I have already paid out for being ruined that's more of a concern

this guy will be a good tiler, cos my mates ex hub wouldn't recommend someone that's crap cos hes a manager in a big well known tile shop and he said that would give the shop a bad reputation, when I said I would only want someone that was experienced and decent, he might have had a cancellation ill find out more on sat there could be a genuine reason, but im really not worried cos hes fully aware of what ive been put through so far and I would rather have someone recommended than me trying to find someone

Meanotile, how was I meant to know these developments in post 223 when I made my initial comment that caused all the stir in post 220?
