hello.. again.. phil,
i've certainly no wish to annoy you, and i think that you giving time free of charge to help apprentices is admirable.

at the same time please accept that i'm only reporting my experience.....and yes i'm an engineer and so to me tiling is another engineering challenge which i'm enjoying. and i'm happy to feed back my experience. lets's all remember that's how we moved on from the simple stone lintol to the skyscraper...and the wheel.... to the rolls royce.....& the fire....to the banquet.

Each to their own Ythan, I worked for a precision engineer a few years back who told me he worked to a tolerance of one hundred thousandth of an inch, I replied yeah well I work until it's right.

Just seen this thread, and really not very impressed with the snide petty remarks aimed at one of the most experienced tradesman in this field. The fact is simply this, tiling over chipboard is never advisable in any shape or form. But simply at the end of the day, if you want to run with it, on your head be it. It has to rank as one of the top ten bad practices, and there are many reasons for this, which have been stated time and time again on this forum.

If you do not wish to take advice from trusted advisors, then do not ask, but then again do not ask for a solution to a problem that could arise further down the road.

You seem intent on picking faults on tilers posts but what you have realise these guys are doing this day in and day out and have pick up the pieces from amateurs when jobs go wrong.
