Can you tile a caravan? :smilewinkgrin:

I've tiled a caravan floor before. Most floors are made with spruceply, which can be replaced, cement boards and similar prep to tiling over a wooden floor in a bathroom.
The only major consideration i had was weight issues. The caravan i did was a very large touring type. Owned by a funfair owner. He worked out all the extra weight etc. It was only because he took the fair to countries in Europe and had to be weighed.

I remember when we were working on these caravans the bloke said one year all the tiles split when they transported them down the motorway!

For those of you interested we were working on them for the Ideal Home Show.
(All them big houses are produced "off-site" in hangers like this and then taken to London to be completed at Earls Court)
Its prefab on a big scale

It all had to be bolted down for the ride to London

Tiled ahead of transportation... Risky stuff !!

Some of you mentioned that the gov needs to stop sending money abroad. I was actually personally disgusted to find out how many foreign workers will get their wages/salary and then send it all home to their families.

Obviously while a noble sentiment in their behalf but every penny they send to another country destroys our economy. And I'm not talking minimum wage here either but nurses, doctors etc!

You can also claim for your children who have not actually moved to the UK too! Did you know that?
So a bloke working here can have 5 kids back in his own country, and claim for all 5.

Our foreign policies are all wrong IMO.

If we were the richest country on earth, I could see us needing to support other countries. Though the fact is we're in debt and skint, yet we still pass bills to give billions aboard to countries who perhaps export more than us themselves.

Only in Britain eh?

It's to keep them all sweet, it's the equivalent of the brown envelope but on a much bigger scale
