The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP
I don't know this guy, but he seems to know his stuff (Alan Reynolds) his article in this months TSJ (page 12) sums this industry up for me. Something needs to be done to address this situation, lack of skills/good training etc. is hastening the demise of a highly skilled profession ( wall & floor tiling).
The future of this trade hangs in the balance, if nothing is done to help small traders (one man band's) like Alan and many of us, to be able to pass on our skills to the next generation. This trade will go the way of others (dry stone walling/thatching etc).
We need some incentive from the government/ trade associations, to stop the dilution of these hard earned, and rare craftsman qualities. We will always need good tradesmen, why is nothing being done?:mad2:
