in the old days well the 80's, sand and cement fixing was the way, screed with semi dry the area you wanted to tile then mix some salmon up, [ thats pure cement with water] serrate like adhesive and fix making sure its alinged right because its a sod to move over when fixed, when finished fixing use boards to spread weight to stand or kneel on and soak with water then beat down, always finished with a floor like a sheet of glass and as solid as concrete, dying trade always sorted the tilers from the chancers, the good old days , no one will pay for this method now yet perfect every time
