Unfortunately we live in a world where it really is who you know rather than a persons raw skill that succeeds, it's also a good time for the ones who can talk the talk when the who can walk the walk are busy doing nothing because they can't talk the walk as they say!!! I worry about the plane of my tiles being broken by 2 mm over 1.8m and the you see some of the utter abortions being left by other guys who think tiling is glorified wallpapering or painting (no disrespect to that trade). after working with some of these baboons, you wonder why the hell you stress about these little things.

You stress because you care about your work Charlie, easy as that, one things for sure the market is full of chancers who don't care about finish, and even more so these days. I recently heard of a guy who gave up the taxis and started tiling, and because he is well known is pulling work in left right and centre. Will probably change when people see what he's doing!

That's scary in this day and age, well, being a taxi driver, he won't be short of talk that's for sure, if he gives it enough respect then in a few year he might have learned enough to become a tiler, If on the other hand he tries to chase the money then at worst, one job will ruin him and at best his work will dry up as his reputation catches up with him
