Are you sure he wasn't English, but living and working in Sweden. I recall him talking about his days in London at some point.
His command of the English language was superb, and his put downs were sometimes verging on hilarious, by the same token he did know some stuff as well. Not just about tiling but generally all round. Or was he just an expert at Googling to find all his answers!!! :lol:
Actually, I think you're right mate I remember him posting picture of a car or something and saying he had been there for years but was english actually.
