Not sure what figures Dan needs but this poll is an over whelming success. Good on every one of us that voted the right way. The public will see the badges and in turn I predict that that this forum will see a massive increase in interest. This could be one of the first vital steps in the new governing
tile association. Without public awareness we cant build any kind of minimum work
standards.
Yeah, great success so far.
Only really due to us being hounded for them for so many years I think mate lol - Our own fault (or mine) really! Should have done them ages ago.
As for the thing thing, I wouldn't say we need to be a governing body or replace TTA. What we need to do mate (and I've replied in the thread) is just deliver to the
tile customer therefore the tiler who's with us would benefit. And I think that's the main thing TT is NOT doing right now, being beneficial to the end user which is the start of the 'food chain'. It's probably easier to do than actual governing anything, it just needs to be a new type of tiling business with a real good focus on ethics and marketing that fact. IMO.
Try not to get us hated any more by TTA with the comments regarding stuff that should be their gig not ours.
