I have followed this thread with interest, and I can understand the time served guys point, we had to go through the mill to become real tilers, by real tilers I mean people who have spent a lifetime honing their skills. These tilers are quite comfortable doing 5,000 mt floors, swimming pools, etc.

They can walk on any job anywhere, and do a grid of levels, supply a method statement/risk assessment determine expansion / stress joints required. Tiling is not about doing Mrs Blogs bathroom, it is an art that takes years to perfect.

On a lighter note I have met Mr David Howe and we speak on the phone now and then, I find him to be a true gent who has a real passion for this trade, he is a big lad and I am glad he is my friend and not my enemy. Happy tiling to all.

As Phil said mr Howe is a true gent and a man who knows his trade. Also very big and I am glad he is a friend

Im prepared to work just as if not harder than you guys its just hard to organise training when you realise what you want from life a bit later on... I can have a passion for the trade too cant I? it is what it is And as for enemies im not out to make them... I think no retaliation to a threat of violence shows that.. "lay you out" does not mean grass you up to the tax man no matter where your from. And im not a big bloke il admit that.

Dave never said that ! Get your facts straight Ash.
Lay you in, a term meaning to grass or report you from where Dave is from.

Only kidding you big lump:smilewinkgrin:

 

[Mr T]

Oh :mad2: so it does matter where your from my bad lol. You can only try your best and thats all im doing.

Interested that you say that lee .
do you really only have to show the statements and not supporting invoices.
i was told this by my new business manager at Barclays but he got sacked within two months of appointment .
My dad is an old school accountant retired for 25 years and he always insists that I have support invoices which can never be wrong but maybe times have really changed and you can get away with just statements.
i would be very interested to hear your comments

Hello Johnny!...hope you are well............but what I ment was....

everyone has to submit thier invoices, that is a given (i thought anyway!).......and you also submit you bank account statements (related to the buisness)
.......your invoices are then tied to your purchases and your input from your bank account.....that is how the accountant can work the whole deal out.....

all the best

I have a guy at the moment following me on jobs that I am quoting and he actually goes in and just half's my quote, I won't go into how I found out it's a long drawn out story. But I am losing out on work to this guy. He is a chancer of the highest order. Greenstar with 600 x 400 stone and so on. Signing on and charging for crap work, although on the face of it the customer doesn't know it's crap. These guy's are as others are saying killing the industry and reputations. I would most definately like to lay this guy out:mad2:
