Have heard of this before from a tiler who's father has somethink like 50+ years experiance tiling. Would use some kind of string on the long runs of tile's, Mind you only heard about once and never seen anyone use this method.

Using string is real old. I'm not familiar with the english terminology for this, but in the old days, when tilers used damp concrete and cement (of a creamish consistency) to install tiles, using string as spacing guides was quite common. Or so I've been told atleast. Under certain circumstances, using the concrete-cement method is still used in many countries (don't know about britain), mostly for out doors tiling, and REAL large floors in industrial buildings etc, because it's so damn strong. It's messy, heavy, and takes alot more time than modern methods, but if it's done properly, and without rushing, you certainly can't argue with the result. Personally, I avoid it, to much effort involved, and the results are comparable to standard methods.
Can you tight fisted buggers just buy a few bags o spacers to keep in the van.
This is hilarious, string,, cardboard, spaghetti!!!! Youll be trimmin your toe nails with a stanley and using that next.:joker:
