Thanks for this thread KelvinA. We'll be looking for a tiler too, soon. In the past we've found a good one incredibly hard to find and able to command a price above rubies. We did have one who proudly told us he could "tile a camel" but he retired at 45, to live in France. Quite why my careers advisor didn't steer me towards tiling I'll never know.
I did meet Bonnie Tyler, though, when she was guest of honour at my university hall of residence. She sat next to the Ents Officer on high table at dinner and squeezed his knee when nobody was looking. He was pink for the rest of term.
