Hi CLMC123,

Love your potential business name. Goes well with your own name.

I was a computer programmer for more years than I care to remember, until the big businesses came up with the great idea of outsourcing the work to places like India, Spain and other countries I can't even spell. By the time they realised that, though it seemed a good solution and would save some money, in actual fact everything got done shoddily took forever and cost a mint. Then they decided they'd bring everything back in-house. Of course by then all the trained and experienced programmers had all become plumbers and the UK declared a shortage of experienced IT staff. Duh!

I didn't fancy staring down other people's loo's for the rest of my life, so I moved into Admin. S'ok, but no great challenge, so I'm hoping to change that with a new tiling career. I'm still at the stage of balancing time from work to organise a training course. I've press-ganged a couple of friends to let me do some small bits of tiling for them, but I'd rather get some decent training first.

I don't have a business yet. My name is Karen and K2 are my intials (KK). Just too lazy to spelll out my name.

Speak to you soon,
K2

I think you'll surprise yourself with your knowledge... some of the answers you get while being 'correct' will be technically wrong cos the answers are out of date with 'best practice' 🙂

makes a change someone coming out of 'Ricshaws cabs & taxis' and not going for a driving job🙂

Hi Leanne
My wife did the course with me and works on a daily basis on our jobs. Mind you she does spend more time socialising, with the clients cups of tea etc. I think they see it as a novelty until she starts cutting tiles and slapping tiles on the walls. Then they are quite impressed. Moira does enjoy the tiling but for us "auld" yins office bound for years it can be a bit sore on the muscles and old bones.

[Leanne]

your 2 far away from me! theres been a few on here said they would but non that are from here lol *** fanx oh ***

 

[Dan]

I meant the tiler in the story. 🙂

 

[Leanne]

oh i see well he was a bit far aswel plus he was a bit pervy i got scared!!! ***

 

[Dan]

Ahhh well there you go then LOL.

 

[CON5933]

oh i see well he was a bit far aswel plus he was a bit pervy i got scared!!! ***

Define 'Pervy'.... hold on a minute while I get comfortable... ok go on.:tounge_smile:

 

[Leanne]

ha just pervy lol i can handle abit of harmless flirting but he scared me 1 comment was something lyk "well you never no i might get a f**k outta you" n am sorry but thats a bit far!!!

 

[Concept PHT]

To be fair, your right. Should of put his bollox through the wet cutter at that point.... lol

 

[Leanne]

haha never thought of that! when i worked at north east tiling i had a crack on with the men but non of them steped over the mark like that, so no matter how much i need a job and love tiling a cant handle that lol

 

[Concept PHT]

You r dead right mate, probably tellin his mates he's pulled etc... what a perv!!

 

[CON5933]

Thats past the point of bein 'pervy' into very dangerous territory where a lone woman is involved... havin said that it was probably one of his usual chat up lines, I bet if you followed him home, he'd stop on the way to buy some 'chewin baccy' and then at his place you would find his big eared brother/nephew/son/cousin on the balcony playin the banjo🙂

 

[Dan]

Were you there? 😱 😀😀😀

 

[Leanne]
