@bluesky - 50mm thick is only one aspect! Tile size is required and substrate as asked by others. Bit more info then advice can be given.
Good luck.

I just think 50mm thick is substantially thicker than most stone, Like 4 times thicker, and a lot tougher

Like a quarry though, you only need to have a crack in the first bit and the rest will follow. It's like the biscuit on the back of a ceramic. Doesn't really matter how thick it is.

To be fair it sounds to me like external kinda grade if it's that thick? Does the builder just have some left over from a patio or something?

You're probably right mate, maybe it's a super solid one at 50mm thick. When I'm picturing limestone, I'm picturing the kinda stuff walls are made from that weather away after a few years. Crumbly weak stuff.

Perhaps my lack of skill and experience are showing through on this one matey.
