Advise the customer not to purchase cheap tiles (bowed) if they want brick bond!!

Not all cheapies are bent. Some expensive ones from manufacturers that really should know better can catch people out too. Seen one from porcelanosa and a couple from marazzi and settecento recently. Mostly wood effect but the occasional 60x30 and 90x45 pop up now and then.

Check for flatness then!
