This thread has just bought back a memory. Retiling a shower for a mate at mates rates, he'd had it done a few years before and it had failed badly (plywood onto studs..). So we ripped it all out, reboarded, tiled and I'd just put up the side panel for the shower cubicle ( reusing the old one) turned around to pick up my level and heard a crack. As I turned back, like something from a cartoon, a crack went down the glass and then it shattered into thousands of pieces all in glorious slow motion.
I've no idea why it broke but I did pay for a new one.
