i only space on the vertical and horizontal joint , never shove in the cross section , and if they will hang no spaces at all

When you do the commercial jobs let see if you have times for take out spaces in 300-400 sqm....

I always put them in the horizontal vertical joints, not in the cross, so they're never left in.

The spaces was invented for leave in...If don't want leave in nothing please use some different stuff,like in Norway....

Sorry,I don't want offend no one Tony,I just try to write my experience.I'm sure your labourer not take out all spaces,or damage more tiles if try to take out some spaces with adhesive around.This is what I learn at my cost.If is not british standard,just use string,realy easy and clean.About 10 sqm at week,I see myself tilers who do 1 bathroom in 6 days,so again,I not want offend no one,is just my opinion.
