There's nothing wrong with being a bit naive. We were all wet behind the ears once:

Toppfix Rapidset Floor Tile Adhesive | Topps Tiles

That link is from topps retail website. As far as topps are concerned you've paid them too much mate. Have a scan around the site and check your prices fella. But, if they quoted you trade prices you've not got them. Like i say i think i pay £8.99ish for a bag of this.

I was told it was a bal adhesive in a topps bag? Just what the guy said in topps tiles once.

Definitely Palace that make the Topps own brand.

Thought the topps tiles guy was wrong with that! Lol

Palace make the Topps adhesive but there are several BAL products that are made exclusively for Topps (or should I say renamed). The guy probably got confused.
