When I did a job in Norway (Bomlo I think it was) the family invited me to a Saturday evening Shindig and everyone at the table spoke English because I was there, even when I wasn't involved in the conversation - now that is respect!

That's another reason my Norwegian isn't great, the locals speak English and enjoy practising it. In Germany they dub German over the tv programs, here they never do, kept in English with Norwegian subtitles, so as soon as kids start watching telly they're learning English without realising it, and they say too much telly's a bad thing!

I suppose it's both a good thing and a bad thing. Good cos you know you can communicate and bad because as it's their country you would rather be respectful and learn their language.

a bit of good news. i splashed out and bought 200 spacers. so i wont have to wash them. no more penny piching. just bin em. amazing the price difference between trade tiler (4 pound for 1000) and local shops. 4-5 euro for 100.

Very true but there's a few obstacles, I work for a fellow Englishman, I've got 4 BBC channels and Sky news in my satelite package, and the biggest obstacle of all, my 5 year old mocks my Norwegian. Kids can be so cruel. ;-)

You'll have to post a picture of this product or are we in April already!

With the help of my landlords 13 year old son, I (we) have worked out how to get pics from my phone to P.C!
This was a silly insurance job, had to take 5 tiles off bath, clean them and replace broken tiles around bathroom then retile the bath with marble. Nice materials but job looked stupid, marble bath and 20 year old ceramic walls..... customer was happy though and that's what matters

You weren't joking about using string :s

 

[White Room]

Heard of string on floors as for spacing, not on walls thought..
