is this a tilers forum

[Ian]

Any one can talk a good tiling job doing a good tiling job is another kettle of fish that is where experience and pride in your work comes in, some tilers are naturally gifted some just are so determined that they will rip down a days work because they are not happy with it and redo it until it goes in right and dont care if they loose money by doing it again

And maybe the information we hand out is helping the cowboys talk a good job. You are bang on with the pride aspect, but would a cowboy or chancer spend the amount of time we all do on here to get the information? I'm not sure what the best answer to the opening post is, all I know is, I've gained more than I've lost from contributing to this forum.

Hopefully they would have learnt enough to stop them from being cowboys

when your work and knowledge stand out work will always come your way .why because you know more .keep the knowledge to your self.you have earned it .only pass on to those who are worthy .and you respect

 

[Ian]

The thing is Ray, a lot of my knowledge has come from people on here so, if I wasn't willing to give some back, wouldn't that be wrong?

Might pay to have a proper look around the forum Ray

Ray, we're going round in circles here, nobody is forcing you to post any advice or information and people can't become tilers from reading a forum full of posts. I appreciate what you are saying and agree with a lot of it, but you have to accept that we all have different views on this subject.

hi bri the knowlegde you have gained has come from tilers give back to tilers thats our duty to share whith each other .but not to give away to the masses.when was the last time you took your van to a garage and the mecanic showed you how to fix it next time to save you money

Ray,

I understand where you're coming from but please respect the forum members. All of them.

You don't have to give advice if you don't want to, but don't moan when other people do.

If we had no forum, somebody else would just offer the service, so it is inevitable that it's going to happen. So it's best to be part of it and use it to your advantage than to kick people in the teeth who sit on here helping all day.

Please think before you post again.

Thanks

Dan

Just last week.

And the last time I went to the doctors he told me how to prevent my manflu rather than just waiting for me to come back again keeping him in a job.

I've closed the thread to stop this. Which is a shame as constructively put together I think you'd have learnt how it actually works here and perhaps would have eventually got a job or two out of the place for your hard work. Not a bad thread topic, just all said the wrong way Ray.
