with the number of numpties thinking any old fool can tile I thought I would assist them with a guide to the terms we use

tiling gear

wear something old and comfortable as theres a lot of bending and reaching in tiling plus you will get grubby


setting out

very important to get this right, so when setting out in the morning make sure you have your wallet. phone,paper, flask and some sarnies. choccie biccies are always a good idea


using addy

great idea ,give him a bell and pick him up in the morning


fixing tiles

dont bother, if they are broken take them back for a refund


cutting tiles

score and break is a good way , a break being usefull to enjoy the drugs youve just scored


grouting joints

not reccomended as it makes them difficult to smoke


polishing off

do this at home time, polish off the tea and bicciess your client has been good enough to supply before heading off to the bookies to place a bet on the 2.30 at ascot
and a well earned drink in the pub

cleaning up

you will

as theres one born every minute
