Was that a vertical drop that you could cover the distance in Doug? :sofahide:
Seriously, you need to think long and hard about your next move, is there any chance of you going into teaching Doug?

I have most of qualifications to go into teaching John, but seriously I'm not cut out for teaching, I leave that to the Mrs (welding lecturer).

Oh wow! That's kool! Or is it name dropping? :sofahide: Haha
yeah I've heard of them. Nothing so grand for me. But I do miss it terribly.
Sorry to hear that Doug but your health , and the quality of it are far more important ! I know that I will be bothered with arthritis in later life , as I've had a few bad breaks of late whilst playing football , metal shin bone , screws etc and my knee cap was taken out and put back in etc ...., ! Would hate the thought of a new job , plus their ain't much work out their!

all the best Doug, my knees play me up, its not the being down, its the getting up that's hard, mine comes from years of tiling with wet screed and never wearing pads, in those days they dug into the back of the knee and were a real pain, i still hardly wear them, i do use a soft floor /garden mat to knell on but having to keep moving it is a headache. i have tried trousers with built in knee pads but as i'm short and on the cuddle size the pads are good for the shins only. I have cut down on my work load to save them a bit, . i remember a few years ago going to the doc with a left knee that i could hardly walk with without a stick , the doc said ' i have never seen such an old knee on a young man' i replied the right one is just as old why is that one ok,
anyway all the best for 2014
To all new tilers i echo Doug's warning '' wear the pads''
